Screen Capture Professional Edition

Screen Capture Professional Edition is a simple-to-use program that can automatically save all frames that you grab, thus allowing you to take multiple screenshots quickly. It can be seamlessly handled, even by less skilled users.

After a brief and uneventful installation procedure, you are greeted by a standard window with a plain layout, where a short help file explains every step of the process.

You can change the default output directory and format (JPG or BMP), establish a counter for frames, as well as insert a base name for all saved snapshots. From this point on, you can minimize Screen Capture Professional Edition to the taskbar or system tray area.

Henceforth, you can press the Printscreen key on your keyboard, which triggers the automatic save of each new frame. There's also an option available that lets you capture only the frame of the foreground active window, as long as you hold down the Alt key when pressing the Printscreen key.

It is also possible to set the program to automatically run at system startup and to minimize to the system tray at app initialization, assign a sound for each shot-grabbing event, convert BMPs to JPGs, open Display Properties, to change desktop wallpaper options, as well as to restore all screen capture settings to their default values.

Screen Capture Professional Edition runs on a very low quantity of CPU and system memory, has a good response time and works well, without hanging, crashing or popping up error dialogs. On the downside, it does not integrate a feature for capturing an area of the screen, and you cannot reconfigure keyboard shortcuts. We must also take into account the fact that Screen Capture Professional Edition has not been updated for a very long time.
