Version: FastStone Capture 5.3
"The best screenshot software"
Pros: Easy and full of options. With cursor or whtout cursor. All the screen, a window, a poligonal area. What you want.

Version: FastStone Capture 5.3
"Great FREE program and easy to use"
Pros: This has got to be the best free screen capture program out there, and rates highly with the paid for versions of similar products. I found it easy to navigate through the system and the downloadable help files with pictures are an added bonus.
I AM SURE YOU WILL NOT REGRET DOWNLOADING THIS LITTLE GEM
Cons: NO CONS HERE

Version: FastStone Capture 5.3
"Great, friendly, lightweight and free screen capture"
Pros: FastStone's Capture (v5.3) is a great utility program for capturing screenshots. It is the best program of its kind I have used so far.
FastStone Capture is so small and light you can just have it running in the tray, ready for use. Its user interface is humane and fun to use (as other FastStone products are). The main key is the PrintScreen key: normal PrintScreen captures the full screen, shift-PrintScreen captures the active window, control-PrintScreen captures area on the screen and my favorite control-alt-PrintScreen which captures scrolling window into a big image.
Captured images are sent to a preferred location: clipboard, file (bmp, gif, jpg, pdf, tiff and png), email, printer or a simple image annotator. The image annotator lets you add text (any language), arrows, highlightings and shapes to the captured picture.
The program is free for non-commercial use - at work we have SnagIt (the do-it-all expensive screen capture program) but it is so heavy I just can't use it. Since I use it at work, I bought a lifetime license for $30 - well worth the price.
Preferred settings to check:
* Run when windows start
* Silent startup
* Button "X" is used to: Minimize to Windows tray area
* Scroll refresh time: 100 milliseconds
Cons: These are probably temporary issues:
1. Annotation text can be in any language but its does not support right-to-left entry (Hebrew and Arabic).
2. The default scroll refresh time of 50 milliseconds results in fractured capture in auto-scroll mode.

Version: FastStone Capture 5.3
"Is it your screen or is it FastStone Capture ? Almost impossible to tell !"
Pros: Before becoming computer semi-literate and discovering Download.com , I had paid around $30 for a leading screen shot program.
I check out a lot of photo editing software and I had been so impressed with the FastStone Image Viewer that , when I found their Screen Capture on DL.com I had to give it a try. The difference in clarity , speed and ease of use is unbelievable ! When you throw in the fact that FastStone is FREE , you have a mix that just can't be beat . With 102 downloads on my watch list I only have time to write reviews for the one's that are really really GOOD or really really BAD . This one is definitely in the really really GOOD column . Even though I paid good money for that other software , it's headed straight for the recycle bin & shredder .

Version: FastStone Capture 5.3
"Free, small, effective and easy to use"
Pros: Well, this is a must have for every Windows user. It offers some options to screen capture not figured in other programs. It's free, small and does the work. And the best of all, it works in Vista too!
Cons: Nop, not even a small contrary for using this amazing program.
