Screenshot

Some projects might require you to provide solid proof, which can easily come under the form of a screenshot. Every keyboard is fitted with a special button to help in this regard, but there are also various third-party alternatives which can help out. A suitable example is Screenshot, making the whole operation a lot easier.

Setup keeps you busy only for a little while, also offering to launch the application for you once the last step is over. Note, however, that it completely relies on .NET Framework to function, but it usually comes in the default set of Windows features, so chances are it’s already on the computer you decide to use it on.

A pretty compact window shows up on launch, with just a couple of buttons wrapped around a classic frame. It doesn’t take more than a couple of seconds to get to know the application, thus making it a reliable tool for beginners and experienced individuals alike.

Hitting the screenshot button temporarily minimizes the window so it doesn’t stand in the way while capturing the desktop. With it back up, a save dialog also shows up, letting you choose where to save the new image, and under what format. You can only select either JPG or BMP.

Sadly, the application is devoid of advanced features, being merely an extension, or visual representation of the keyboard screenshot button. There’s no possibility to capture only a specific region, or use it through hotkey commands. It would have been useful to have it minimized to the tray area and start capturing through button combinations.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Screenshot is a straightforward screen capture tool. There are no options to select a custom screen region, while the lack of hotkey support prolong the entire operation a little more than actually necessary.
