FastStone Capture
FastStone Capture's main purpose is to capture any of the images, text, browser windows or scrolling web pages that are open on your computer screen. It can take the whole screen or just one section of it, such as a single window. It also goes a lot further in providing tools for resizing, cropping, text annotation, printing, and e-mailing, together with a screen magnifier.
Comment
If you've simply been using the Print Screen/SysRq button on your keyboard to capture the displayed image, you'll find FastStone Capture much more sophisticated and almost as convenient. When you download it you'll see a small floating Capture Panel on your screen, but the full interface launches after you've selected the area you wish to capture.
Discreet, easy to use, and genuinely useful, FastStone Capture is a great low-cost utility.
