Re: What's the quickest way to publish a screen grab on the web?

I bought FastStone Capture [NOT SPAM] but only because I like it and use it
a lot. (Note: You can download previous, free versions of FastStone
Capture.)

IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) has a screen capture option.

Re: What's the quickest way to publish a screen grab on the web?

Why do you need Word?

Hit the Print Screen key (next to F12).
Open Paint (Programs, Accessories, Paint).
Edit, Paste.
Click on Select button (rectangle made of dashed lines).
Click on one corner of the wanted area.
Holding down the left mouse button, move the mouse to put the dashed
rectangle around the data area.
Edit, Cut.
File, New.
Click No to the Save question.
Edit, Paste.
File, Save As.
Put the file name in quotes.

Easy... http://www.jingproject.com

It captures, uploads, and hosts the image. And it's made by Techsmith who is
like the "Microsoft" of screen capture software.

Re: (*More*) What's the quickest way to publish a screen grab on the web?

Brilliant - Brilliant

I have got Vista Premium on my PC & i found the wonderful Snipping Tool you
mentioned

It takes screen grab any shape i want (no need to crop whole screen), I can
save it directly as web-friendly jpeg

It even lets me edit it (with coloured pens) which is something i forgot
about but i also wanted

Aint it great when someone invents stuff before you even know you want it
)

Peachy - thanks

There is if you have the Windows Tablet PC optional features enabled
