Getting a good screenshot can sometimes be a bit more time-consuming than you’d like.
There’s always the old ‘Print Screen’ command – but the screenshot you get is usually going to need some cropping and other editing tweaks.
Jing is a nice screenshot tool that we’ve written about here in the past and that we’ve used extensively here at The Time Finder.
Still, we are always on the lookout for additional helpful tools – and Greenshot looks like a helpful addition to your screenshot toolbox.
What is Greenshot? Here’s how the developer describes this screenshot tool:
Greenshot is a light-weight screenshot software tool for Windows with the following key features:
- Quickly create screenshots of a selected region, window or fullscreen; you can even capture complete (scrolling) web pages from Internet Explorer.
- Easily annotate, highlight or obfuscate parts of the screenshot.
- Export the screenshot in various ways: save to file, send to printer, copy to clipboard, attach to e-mail, send Office programs or upload to photo sites like Flickr or Picasa, and others.
The following video gives quite a detailed and useful description of Greenshot and how to configure and use it. There are numerous settings that you can use to streamline your work, and it’s a good idea to pay attention to the configuration step. It will save you time in the long run.
Greenshot is especially robust when it comes to editing the image that you create from your screenshot. Once you’ve captured your screenshot, choosing the image editor gives you the capacity to add arrows and comments to annotate your image, as well as cropping it and making lots of other tweaks. We’ve actually set our preferences so that the captured screenshot opens up automatically in the image editor – no extra clicks to get there!
A screenshot can be like a form of time-saving shorthand when you are trying to offer step-by-step directions or describe a process. Greenshot is a quick and easy way to capture what you need – and it offers some features that we haven’t seen with other screenshot tools. So we think it’s worth a moment of your time today!
