    Reviewing 2.1.3 (May 12, 2008)

    Seconding the recommendation of using the 1.1.10 last free version. Either that or the last free version of Faststone Capture (which is what I use, since it allows you to draw eg. red circles on screenshots when showing people what to click or what to look at in that screenshot, etc)

    Reviewing 2.1.1 (Mar 19, 2008)

    File not free, it offers a very smooth workflow and, most of all, correctly capture alpha blending and thus produce true alpha blended png files without any background, contrary to all current freewares in that area.
    Beside thta, it is perfectly portable on an USB key.

    Snagit is what everyone is using. The Snagit editor has lots of extras to enhance your capture. If you are going to pay for a screen capture program, then Snagit has the features you want.
