FastStone Capture 7.5

FastStone Capture is much more than a simple screenshot taking application as it also allows you to edit, annotate and watermark captured images and even to record the screen activity as WMV video files.

This complex program offers you one of the simplest ways to capture images from the screen: it enables you to take a screenshot of the full screen, of a specific screen region or of the active window with just the press of a hotkey. Then, the image can be edited, annotated, attached to an e-mail, embedded into a Word document or simply saved to a common image format such as PNG, JPG or BMP. The editing functions are comprehensive, including resizing, cropping, sharpening or watermarking among many others.

Though it can save the videos only to the WMV format, the screen recorder is also handy and effective. It can also capture the speech from the microphone. That is why it is a great way to create neat video tutorials and presentations.

FastStone Capture also includes some additional tools such as a screen rules, a screen magnifier or a color code picking utility.

In conclusion, it offers a lot for an affordable price. FastStone Capture is a comprehensive tool that comes with many tools and functions and yet manages to be intuitive and easy-to-use.
