This outstanding freeware application makes capturing and editing screenshot images a breeze. MWSnap may come with an uninspired-looking interface, but it gets the job done without hassle. Its useful and very user-friendly features require no special expertise. You can capture a fixed or selected area of your screen, a particular window or menu, or the entire desktop. You can also set the application to automatically save after capturing. Bonus features include an onscreen ruler, a desktop magnifier, a window-information tool, and a color picker. MWSnap also lets you modify images by flipping or rotating them, and by adding a variety of frames and cursor shapes. It's an excellent choice for everyone from casual to experienced users.Publisher's Description
From Mirek Wojtowicz:
MWSnap is a small yet powerful Windows program for snapping (capturing) images from selected parts of the screen. Current version is capable of capturing the whole desktop, a highlighted window, an active menu, a control, or a fixed or free rectangular part of the screen. MWSnap handles five most popular graphics formats and contains several graphical tools: a zoom, a ruler, a color picker, and a window spy. It can be also used as a fast picture viewer or converter. MWSnap does not require installation and does not need any special DLLs, drivers, or system files, which can mess up your system.

"Doesn't do what I expected"
Version: MWSnap 3.74
Pros
Comes with other tools such as a screen ruler.
Cons
Does not actually copy menus
Summary
Nice package, but I downloaded it so I could take shots of menus. There is no way I can see to pull down a menu and put it in a screenshot.
The menus it grabs are only the MENU BAR, not the actual menu. while the selection by mouse-over is convenient, I can't see as it does this much better than W7's built in Snipping Tool, which I keep in my Launch menu (which I made from an easy-to-get-to folder in My Documents.
I removed it; I didn't need the other tools.
That said, you may want to give it a try if it suits your needs. I had no problems with it. -

none that I can find
Summary

"Very good software."
Version: MWSnap 3.74
Pros
Tiny, simple, easy to use. Many options for a free software. You cannot see any effect on RAM consummation. Suprisingly for a good free program, never does the inevitable nagging about buying or upgrading.
Cons
None, may be the interface is a little from Windows95 age.
Summary
Have it.

"Indispensible - Simple and efficient design"
Version: MWSnap 3.74
Pros
Installation is simple. Works on 32 bit and 64 Bit. Easy to access and gets the job done.
Cons
Doesn't handle multiple monitors. However, it is a free tool and the ease of use is unmatched.
Summary
My favorite feature is the "Repeat last" feature. It allows you to take multiple snaps of the same area over and over again. This comes in extremely handy when trying to capture WebCast slides and frames.

"Hotkey launch is very useful. XP users need this tool."
Version: MWSnap 3.74
Pros
Fantastic.
Cons
Currently only grabbing from primary monitor. Further research on my part may resolve.
-
"Seems useful but a complicated and weak combination."
Version: MWSnap 3.74
Pros
Capturing options are acceptable.
Based on both capturing and editing images (In fact it's not a pro!).
Not a system memory.
Skimpy at using system memory (9,000 K).
Free.Cons
Editing options are weak and unnecessary.
Interface is slipshod.
Not fast enough.
Not really easy to use or set the program.Summary
Using a combination of a simple capturing tool and a talented image editor would be much more effective.

"Best free utility ever"
Version: MWSnap 3.74
Pros
Can use it to snap live states of controls that can't usually be captured.
The ruler is really cool to and you can resized the length like a form.Cons
Have experienced some problems on dual moniter setup when using the Window/menu option. The workaround is to use the "Any rect. area option".
I mostly use this snap option anyway.
