We use an old version of SnagIt at work to capture screenshots for the plethora of business and technical documentation that rises out of our work group. It’s a very handy program and I’ve always wanted a copy to use at home but I’m too cheap to buy it, plus, based on what I see on TechSmith’s site, it looks like they’ve added a lot of bloatware to the later versions.
Enter MWSnap, a free screen capture utility that allows you to capture the whole desktop, a highlighted window, an active menu, a control, or a fixed or free rectangular part of the screen. It handles 5 most popular graphics formats and contains several graphical tools: a zoom, a ruler, a color picker and a window spy. It can be also used as a fast picture viewer or converter.
Grab a copy of MWSnap and give it a test drive.
