Screen Shot Me

Having to take a screenshot at the right moment can make the whole difference, or make some testing scenarios a lot easier. On the bright side, the keyboard screenshot button is not the only solution, and you might find third-party applications like Screen Shot Me a lot more closer to the type of work you’re used to performing.

Just so you don’t encounter any issues during runtime, it’s a good idea to check whether or not .NET Framework is on your computer, even though modern Windows iterations come with it in the default set of features.

A pretty confusing window shows up on launch, but this is mostly until you figure out how things work. Everything is wrapped around quite a custom-made design, with no classic window elements used in the process. It holds the space where all screenshots you take get enlisted, as well as the set of options presented in a highly-intuitive manner.

You can choose to have the application run with Windows so that it’s ready by the time you reach the desktop. It quietly sits in the tray area, but there’s also a small desktop gadget which stays on top of everything else just in case you want to easily bring up the application window.

Pages need to be manually added, with one or more pictures saved. The default print screen button doesn’t have an effect here. Instead, the application relies on a couple of buttons from A to Z you can set in case the default pair isn’t really handy. It can, however, get a little difficult to extract pictures to be used in other projects.

All things considered, we can state that Screen Shot Me looks and feels like a pretty modern application, which wants to help capture and store screenshots. However, even with its cool visuals, it gets a little difficult to figure out, and there aren’t any options to capture custom regions.
