Tom AZ Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 What's a good, simple and lightweight program for screen captures -- preferably a free one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 What's a good, simple and lightweight program for screen captures -- preferably a free one? I use TinyResMeter which just requires you to press the print screen button and it automatically saves the screenshot as a bmp image in its folder. I don't need anymore than that as any cropping/editing I do with IrfanView Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom AZ Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks to all. I checked out these suggestions and have pretty much decided on Faststone Capture -- although it's not a freebie (shareware). It's very straight-forward and clean -- and easy on resources. I've only used it for a day or two, but it seems to do everything that I need (and more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom AZ Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Use the link Dennis provided for the free version Thanks, JD, I missed that. For some reason, I didn't use the link from Dennis -- rather, I just went to their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony A Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Or go here and get the portable version of Faststone Capture. It's the second program listed. http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?so=p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
