What program do you use for screen shots?
Just wondering what program(s) you guys use to upload pictures from your screen.

I use Corel's Paint Shop Pro, but just about any photo editor will do. I think I've just used MS Paint before.

Take the screen shot, open Paint, paste, save as jpeg, upload. Just did it now:
EDIT: (deleting screen shot, which was obnoxious, and Destructavator beat me to it anyway!

I use SnagIt (from Techsmith) it ain't free but its really good. There are a bunch of *freeware* screen capture programs, Google is your friend.

You do realize that by pressing the Print Screen key it copies an image of your screen to the clip board? From there you can paste that image into any image program.

You have used a keyboard before, right? And I am not referring to 88 weighted keys. Or are you wanting to take movies of your screen?

hit the 'print screen' button and paste (from the edit menu) into your image editor. paint.net has some shapes and lines that come in handy when working with screen shots. oh.....crop the shot so as to be kind to us little screen people.

If you're on Windows, you don't need any special third-party software.
Press ALT and "Prnt Scrn" or "Print Screen" (depending on your keyboard).
It's usually next to the mostly useless scroll lock button or close to it.
You then have a screenshot of your focused, active window.
Then open up MS paint (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint).
Then paste: CTRL-V.
You can then save it as a BMP, Jpeg, or whatever you want.

Goodness! Several of us posted at once.
I also forgot to mention - if you want a full-blown video instead of a still, check out "VirtualDub" which is open-source, free, and totally clean and has an internal video screen capture recorder available in it.
Do *not* google for a screen recorder and grab any of the many freeware commercial apps that pop up right away, they are loaded with spyware, viruses, etc.
Take my word for it as a former computer tech who does video editing and even taught computer tech stuff in what is now a college at one time.

yes indeed, when they come from general sites.
the solution for that, is to look for the developer site, you can see that on the google link.
