Best Screenshot (Free) Program

One of my favorite features of the built in Snipping Tool in Windows is that you can capture open menus and dropdowns. It is a bit hidden but is very helpful when trying to show people menu items and which to choose.

Open Menu

or

Right Click/Context Menu
Right%20Context%20Capture

To use, simply launch the Snipping Tool from Accessories or however you want to run it, Hit ESC to stop instant capture. You will notice the tool is still open and available. Now go to whatever you want to capture, say a menu dropdown in DMT or invoke a right click context menu. With that image composed for snipping, now hit CTRL-PRINTSCREEN. The Snipping Tool in triggered to capture the image and the image is frozen for capture. There are 4 modes of capture (Free-form, Rectangular, Window or Full-screen) so you can use whichever is your preset mode (shown by the dot).

I like it because it is built in and I can use it on any PC/MV/Server I am on. Enjoy!
