I liked the intro of a portable version, and I also noticed that they just went the shareware route. It's an excellent, small program, but a capture program that cannot capture menus and their drop-downs is not worth paying real money for. If FS Capture ever adds that functionality, then I might be interested in upgrading. I’ve been using FastStone Capture for about a year.

One of the best features is that when you grab part of the screen such as a procedure from a web page or help file it stays on top so that you can use it as a reference. You then have a choice rather you want to copy to the clip board save it, print, or discard. small great proggie ! The best program I have ever used for screen shots is 5 clicks by interapple.

I need a screen capture utility to create professional high quality images that I've used in published and non published material. For me the issue is - go with a lower priced product, and have to perform a bunch of workarounds to get what I want, or buy SnagIt - just under $40 on their website and I know it will do everything that I want and need it to do. Any of the following inputs can be used: Region, Window, Full Screen, Scrolling window or Web page that keeps the links. SnagIt has 11 outputs including some of the following: Printer, Clipboard, File, E-mail, Catalog and Instant Messenger to name a few. If File is selected as an output, there are 11 file formats the file can be saved to including: JPG, PNG, SWF and PDF to name a few. AND there are effects included as well as a image editor. You can create profiles - this type of input, to this type of output. If you need a very versatile screen capture program, with a high level of functionality, I wouldn't hesistate to recommend SnagIt.

Darn. Guess I won't be upgrading any more. It's not that I begrudge the developers the money - it's just that I don't have any to spend. It's a really nice TINY little application.

Personally I find SnagIt overpriced,but that's just my opinion. Capture was freeware until recently,but then again so was WindowsClippings. Both have gone the shareware route. It will be interesting to see if a lot of people are turned off by that move. My favorite is Capture from FastStone

I un-installed so I could go back to my favourite Gadwin PrintScreen which I've been using it for about 6 months. The latest free version is 4.1. You can select a hot and save in any one of 4 formats. You can capture a full screen or a portion of a screen which provides a magnified window for precision capturing. Their Pro version is 4.2 is not free but it is loaded with features. I tried WindowClippings and wasn’t impressed.
