Before I have found this little cool tool, my process of creating a screen-shot was very annoying. I used the Windows print key, opened MS Paint, inserted my screen-shot, selected the desired region, selected the “save as” dialog, chose the jpeg format, named the file and yes, process finished.

With Greenshot it is really just a key stroke. Greenshot is a tool that concentrates on making screen-shots easy.

Greenshot is a perfect utility. Installation is as easy as copying the files into a folder and running Greenshot. No Admin rights necessary. It hooks itself at the print key. After you configured it, you only need to remember to press the print key. No intrusive application windows, just an tray icon. Here are the combination you have to learn:

• print: Left-click and drag to define your screen-shot region
• alt+print: Screen-shot of the active window
• ctrl+print: Fullscreen screen-shot

I like it. What tool do you like?
