Screen Shot Software

grenned · 17 Feb 2009 at 16:40

I know someone will come up with the name of the software, as I have forgotten it, I used it at Uni it was an automated piece of software that took a screen shot when a hot key was pressed, I know that there is probably lots out there, does anyone know of any that they would suggest, also being free would help

Cheers

snagit, not free though.

There's Grabby, which simply saves an image whenever you press 'print screen', but i prefer to use Hoversnap (a little way down). The latter can capture custom sized areas as well as standard printscreens. Both are free

MWSnap is a great tool and it's free.

Just uses a rubber band to capture any part of the screen!

Managed to get snagit latest version to work, Maybe going to college was worth it after all, just found my old excel file with all of the site licenses for PC Performance software, very neat. Thanks all

Well, It ok if you screen shot and then come out and paste into paint or what ever, but if your playing a game, and want to take say 5 or 6, you can do some without losing your flow in the game

Most (read decent) games have this in-built anyway.

What game lets you take more than one screenshot with a press of a button?

Yea, what's wrong with Printscreen and Alt Gr Print Screen ?

Yes some games do, I also do training presentations at work which I didnt mention and there it comes into its own especially with full screen apps, everyone to their own
