Software Recommendation?

Hi all,

I need a simple, free screenshot app that automatically captures my cursor, saves to a specified folder and copies to clip board. Then, I can apply effects arrows and drawings on the screenshot.

If anyone has recommendations they'd be appreciated!!

+ Bonus Question: Can I paste images into the forum, I don't seem to be able to?

James,

Apart from the reference to your cursor, you are describing Windows' own Screenshots function.
Take a screenshot - TenForumsTutorials - Just use WinKey+PrntScrn [Option 1, Step 2]
Change or Restore Default Location of Screenshots Folder - TenForumsTutorials

Thank you Denis + Helmut. Helps. I've got a small issue.
(for one I need cursor) but for 2 I am running 2 monitors and through a full screen screenshot it shows both screens (of different resolution). So I must crop this and really I want a " grab + go " software a bit like snipping tool / snip n' sketch, but with more detail. I want to draw red circles, or arrows and squares in my screenshots.

Thanks again,

Did a bit of looking. My best option was the free program Irfanview

I downloaded it and I can tell you it is great! These are the settings:



As you can see you may change many things. (including cursor )

Here is a screenshot test:


I love how I know where it is instantly without the extra steps.

Would recommend.

Hi James,

Try Greenshot; it should do what you want plus more.

Hope this helps.

In fact this could be better than Irfanview! Thanks

Ben, I've just tried this out and it's great! Thanks for the recommendation
