Today I came across a curious little application for Windows called Greenshot, a screenshot tool that I fall inlove with at first sight.
If you take screenshots regularly you know that Windows lacks on support for this. You can take screenshots of the whole screen or just the active window (alt+print scr) but you still need a place to paste and edit the image. Besides Macintosh users have the advantage that their operating system allows them to select what parts of your screen you want to take the screenshot from.
Fortunately there’s still hope for Windows users.
Greenshot is free open-source screen capture tool that allows you to take screenshots from the whole screen area (dual screen for example), the active screen or simply selected area you want to take your screenshot.
I was a bit suspicious at first since the presentation of the tool is a bit of the same old rubbish when someone tries to sell you something completely normal but want to make it look like an innovative product but I was very surprised and happy with this tool. It really is revolutionary, light weight, allows you to edit images without the need to open paint, photoshop, gimp, illustrator or whatever application you use. It works on Windows XP and Windows Vista as far as I know.
