Open Source Screen Capture Programs

When doing network designs or training documentation, I inevitably have to take a quick snapshot of my screen and quickly crop it.  I am a total clutz at Photshop (or anything Photoshop-ish), so up until now, SnagIT has worked wonderfully for me.

Needing to collaborate with several other network guys who didn’t have a cool screen shot tool, I did a little searching to see what I could find and was pleased to find ZScreen and Greenshot. Both are small programs. Zscreen is a bit more full featured than Greenshot, but Greenshot is less than 150K which fits on older hardware. Zscreen, for better or worse, integrates with imageshack.com, which is kind of nice in certain situations. (Screenshots of Zscreen HERE)
