Greenshot

Sunday Sit, Sip, and “Sync” ~ 7-21-2013

Last September, I wrote a post describing the “Snipping Tool” that is available on PC’s running Windows 7 and 8. We use this little tool almost daily for screen captures while building presentations, sending support emails, and posting support through social media.

As much as we love this little tool, it has its limitations in terms of adding shapes and text. We have recently discovered a screen-capture tool called Greenshot which is a free download. Greenshot has many more features, plus the endorsements of CNET, Sourceforge, and PC World.

Greenshot has its own editor and includes the ability to edit its capture in its own program, email it, and include it in several Microsoft programs. Your image can also be saved in several different formats.

To learn more about installing and the features of Greenshot, just watch the videos provided by CaliRed11 on YouTube.

(You will find the installation and options on the Greenshot menu easier to use with the Greenshot updates that have been added since the publication of these videos.)

We hope you find Greenshot as useful as we do,
and something you can use, not only for screen-captures,
but as an editing program that will help you add meaningful images as support for your lessons.

Enjoy your Sunday and week ahead!
