CNET Editors' review
When information comes across your screen that you do not want to forget, a screen capture is in order. While using inaccurate and confusing hot keys was once the preferred method, ScreenHunter Free offers an alternative that promises to simplify the process.
This free program has a simple interface that makes this operation surprisingly easy. The main screen is well spaced and intuitive enough to have new users making screen captures in no time. A menu along the top allows users to make screen captures now or to stand by. Along the left side of the screen are the buttons to toggle between options of where the capture comes from, where it is sent, and more advanced options. The Advanced and Send To options are fairly standard for this type of software, but the Capture From option is quite unique. On this screen, users can select a single hot key to take screen captures, as well as select whether they'd like a full-screen capture, capture a window, or simple a small rectangle (which brings up crosshairs that let you zero in on target).
ScreenHunter Free promises to make getting screen captures easier and we were pleased to find it lived up to this promise. The process is simple, the options are easy to manage, and the results are flawless. We highly recommend this download for all users.

Version: ScreenHunter Free 6.0.203
Pros
Easy to select field(s) to copy. Don't have to save to file---automatically does it to desktop

Unable to select whole page. The most you can get is the open window. Full version is available at a premium I can't afford on a fixed retirement income.

"Love it. Indispensible."
Version: ScreenHunter Free 5.1.149
Pros
When you select the image, you can immediately paste it somewhere. It also leaves a file on your desktop. Couldn't be easier.
Cons
The crosshairs are a bit annoying but no big deal.
Summary
I needed an easier way than screen copy, paste, change to a PDF and then copy and paste to get things off the screen that I want. Snip it in windows 7 does the job so I looked for something similar. This is indispensible.

"Brilliant bit of kit. I could not live without it now"
Version: ScreenHunter Free 5.1.149
Pros
Easy to install. Quickly set up where you want the image to be stored. Hot key available for one touch operation.
Cons
Some times in standby mode it will turn off. But it could be the way I am using it.
Summary
I keep hearing about paying a couple of bucks for a paid version. I can not imagine what else I could get out of a paid version. Fantastic bit of kit, Can not rate it hight enough. Nearly every website I publish I put a link up to it.

"Great Simple product to use! It makes a Jpeg file"
Version: ScreenHunter Free 5.1.149
Pros
It is Free !!! It is simple to use !!!It can be used in standby & a single key can be used to save the screen !I have used it now for 8 weeks !!! It is fast !!!For what it does it is a very small file !!! I would love to work for these guys !!! When I do a photo capture like on coast to coast it uses Windows photo & I can enlarge the photo as much as I like !!! I use this on UFO photos or other photos !!!
Cons
I could only find one thing I did not like after 8 weeks of using & hundreds of screen captures later !! When capturing a screen from a video while running & using expanded screen,it jumps down to the regular screen to capture !!! I can live with this.
Summary
This is a great Free Product.It is simple to use, does not use a lot of space.It is fun & I use it every day !! I would sell this program on my domain !!!Thank you for your time !!! Roger
