screenshot programs

[tim1984]

Anyone knows where to find the best screen-capture software. I am looking for one that has a lot of features. See, I am trying to make a web page with tutorials that has step-by-step screen shots of how to use a software. What is the easiest way to do that? And I want to make sure that readers can save the web page as a single web archive file, i.e, .mht file.

I believe I should have a combination of two programs, one to do the screen-capturing and one to author a web page. Someone told me that Front Page is a bad program and suggeted I use Homesite. I am really lost with all this. Anyone knows what I m talking about ????

Paint shop pro has a good screen capture utility.

for webdesign I use Dreamweaver MX but u can go with anything as long as it suits your needs. but I must agree : frontpage is not a very good choice. Still if if it does all you need to do and if you get along with it ... go for it

if you plan to build a website full of cool graphics and FX that suit your creativity ... well here you have to draw the line 'coz with frontpage you can't as far as you'd like. Photoshop and image ready can be used for html. Image ready can even prepare the inicial index.html with the layout you previously created in photoshop

there may be other programs that do the same, or even better, but photoshop and dreamweaver are the ones I know and love :P

Windows comes with a "screenshot" utility built in.

Press "PrtSc" (print screen) button to copy the entire monitor to clipboard. Then go to an image editing proggy like Paint Shop Pro and paste.

Press "Alt+PrtSc" to only capture the current window / window with focus to clipboard.

Regards.

I agree - PaintShop Pro 7 is my favorite. We use it for Documentation screen captures --step by step processes. The advantage of PSP over <alt>PrntScrn on Windows is that you have more options on how you capture (by area, by object, by window) which means you get only what you want to get and do not have to clean up the image of unwanted captured space.

*Also you can get a 30day free trial download from PSP's website and try out the capture (and full functionality) for yourself I love it and think it's the best under $100 photo editor program that gives Adobe PhotoElements a run for the money.
