The Coolest Image Capture Tool in the West !

No website should be without images - and this includes Joomla! websites. But how can you quickly and easily capture them for upload to your website?

There are lots of Open Source and commercial 'screen or image capture' applications out there.

Wynchcote recommends Greenshot Greencapture - you can obtain it from Sourceforge here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=191585&package_id=225302&release_id=653005

Please note that you will be prompted to download and install Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0 when you install the application. This is time-consuming but worth the effort. Resist the urge to immediately update the .NET application (you will have to wait for 300 MB+ of download - and the Greencapture tool works without it!).

What does the tool do?

It enables you to:

1) capture any portion of your PC's screen - whether viewing web content or content stored on your desktop;
2) edit the images using great and easy to use annotation tools - create boxes, lines and arroes, add text etc;
3) save the image created as a jpg, gif or png file.

A brilliant tool - give it a go.
