How to take a screenshot
Taking Snapshots from the web pages is an activity, which I have to do often for my blog posts. And there are two applications, which I often use for it.
- ScreenGrab, the firefox extension for quick screenshots,
- SnagIt for detailed screenshots, where I have to tweak the image.
There is no doubt that SnagIt software is probably the best screen shot software as on date. But it is not free and your have to purchase it. [Although recently there was a promotional scheme going on, where they were giving version 7 of SnagIt for free]
However recently, I have found yet another firefox extension, named as fireshot, which is much much better that ScreenGrab.
Fireshot, the firefox addon
Fireshot, is a firefox addon, which allows you to easily tweak the screen shot image.
…this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. It’s possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured. Screenshots can be saved to disk (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.

Definitely, worth giving a try.

Hm… I’ve been using this plugin for a while, but had no idea it could do so much more
Good stuff.

Yes Gary, it is really useful, and fast.

SnagIt is great, I use FlashDemo recorder when I need convert my screenshot to flash.

I’m not 100% sure on this one, but I’m fairly certain that I may have just pooped.

I just installed FireShot Version 10.13.40.15
but it doesn’t seem to provide any tools for doing screen shots.
Are you guys talking about the fireshot upgrade which isn’t for free?
Thanks.

I just like the helpful info you provide in your articles. I will
bookmark your weblog and take a look at again here regularly.
I’m moderately certain I’ll be informed many new stuff proper here!
Best of luck for the next!
