WinSnap - Create Professional Screenshots

WinSnap is a small utility for taking screenshots with smoothing shadows, coloring effects and canvas transformations like rotation and scaling. The free utility can capture non-rectangular Windows forms (like Windows Media Player), but also the screen, active windows, client area or a specific region . WinSnap supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF and BMP for exporting and can create thumbnails. What's really nice is that the application uses the standard keyboard combinations (Print Screen, Alt + Print Screen for the active application) and adds similar shortcuts.


From now on, Google Operating System will have beautiful screenshots.

  4. SnagIt is not free and it costs a lot of money: $40.

    I usually wouldn't recommend a tool for taking screenshots (an image editor: Photoshop, PaintShopPro, Corel, gimp, or even an image viewer like IrfanView is a better choice), but WinSnap is impressive and it's useful even if you have an image editor: maybe you don't want to use all your RAM for some sceenshots. You should try it: the setup has only 200K.
