No editing options in the free version tho :( Screenhunter 5.0 (what I use) sounds similar… the main thing I like is that it also has an option to just capture a rectangle that you draw on the screen.

The CEO (or your admin) probably won’t appreciate a lot of shots like this because the files are too big.

Instead – Do the Alt-Print Screen thing then…

1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Paint
2. In Paintbrush, click Edit, Paste
3. Once your picture is displayed, click File, Save As
4. Type a file name (eg: C:\temp\Picture.jpg) and set the Save as Type box to read JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)

If you attach your file to email then, it will be a lot smaller.

The difference is about 2.25MB versus 197K for a 1024×768 screen.

Paintbrush versions earlier than XP (2000?) won’t let you save as JPEG, so if you’re using an older version of windows, consider getting a freeware paint program.
