Belinda Spillman - snipping tool for windows is also an excellent tool. However, I prefer the markup tools from Skitch if markup is something you like to also do on an image

Hi Craig - Thanks for the pointer (
). This looks like a great upgrade from Snipping Tool - I'll give it a try.
Pretty cool application. And you can't beat the price. Thanks for the lesson,
Craig - Will have to check this guy out. I too have been using snipping tool as well for Win7. Then for extra oomph I would open said grab in a photo shop tool and add any markups I would need from there. This may save me a few steps and time.. Thanks

I use the snipping tool with Windows all the time, but I will have to down load this and take a look.

Craig, You are so RIGHT! This one is much more fun and let's you do many cool things to the screen shot other than draw with a highlighter like snipping tool. Thanks for the tip.

Craig,
Skitch is a great tool. I've had it on my Ipad and android tablets and have used it for a while now, but didn't know it was available for windows. Great tip.

Great program it seems, I usually use Snagit which I've had to pay for so this is even better.

Great tip. Have bookmarked, but will need to play with this a bit, as I'm sure it's not as simple as it looks until you've had some experience with it.

I use SnagIt by TechSmith. I am familiar with EverNote, but have not used "Snitch". I will give it a test drive. Thanks for the link!

Craig- I have Jing or SnagIt from TechSmith and have used it but may take a look at Skitch. Thanks!
I use snipit on my pc, but was looking for a mac solution. Off to search for it now.

That's neat! Thank you for sharing this. I will check it out. I'm embarassed to admit that I only recently figured out how to use Print Screen. lol

I also am using Snipit but will try this too. Thanks for sharing this information.
Snag-it is the default screen shot tool on my computer, and I can add text or edit the screen shot in an editor window. Sounds like I should check out Skitch for my phone or iPad. Am I on target with that?

Craig, thank you for the informative post. A good friend of mine keeps batting me over the head with this and I still keep forgetting how to do it. So glad to have some nice handy notes now. ![]()

Jing is another free tool you can use to capture pieces of a screen and do some captions and highlighting and draw arrows, etc.

This looks a lot more powerful than snip it on my pc. Thanks for this informative post.

There are some good apps for screen capture - Skitch being part of Evernote is surely a better option for many using Evernote.
Chrome (and for that matter other browsers) have a plug-in for screen capture which can be edited like Skitch.

This is great Craig! I use the Snipping Tool with Windows but like that I can add text with this. Thanks for sharing!!!!

I've been using snag-it but this is definitely worth checking out. I have bookmarked this and will need to review again. Thanks for sharing this great informative post.
Thanks for sharing this post, as I think skitch could come in real handy. I have bookmarked this one for further reference.
Really need to learn this soon, would be handy for many blogs I'm planning to do.
It is a bit of a treat going back and reading some of Active Rains best archives like this one. Should be shared again.
great explanation I use skitch too it is very useful at times mostly on the tablet or phone
This is still on my list of items to try! ...... Thank you for the reminder..
Craig, I have been using Snipping Tool since it ships with Windows but I will have to check this one out too. I can't tell you how many times a day I use Snipping Tool. It is a lifesaver.
