FastStone Screen Capture is simply THE BEST screenshot / screen capture / video recorder software I have ever used...and believe me, I have used many.
This is certainly an essential tool for any web designer / developer. As such, I am filing it under Web Developer Tools You Can't Live Without.
A brief description right from FastStone's website:
"FastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight, yet full-featured screen capture tool that allows you to easily capture and annotate anything on the screen including windows, objects, menus, full screen, rectangular/freehand regions and even scrolling windows/web pages.
You can choose to send captures to editor, file, clipboard, printer, email, Word/PowerPoint document or upload them to your website. Editing tools include annotating (texts, arrowed lines, highlights), resizing, cropping, sharpening, watermarking, applying edge effects and many more.
It also allows you to record screen activities and sound into highly compressed video files. Other features include global hotkeys, automatic filename generation, support for external editors, a color picker, a screen magnifier and a screen ruler.
FastStone Capture saves files in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF and PDF formats."
Best of all, it pretty darn cheap! Only 19.95 for a lifetime license, but you can try it for free for 30 days as well.
