JDPower 0 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom AZ 0 Report post 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).

Tom AZ 0 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
