GUI for screen capture
Ronin62April 8, 2010
Pros
It works. Lots of functionality for changing brightness, color and size of graphic.
Cons
Very limited functionality for text or image manipulation for documentation. SnagIt is a better choice for documentation with callouts, borders, etc.
Summary
For $20 rather overpriced for a GUI interface to what comes standard on windows via alt+PrtScn.
outstanding
