Description
Capture your screen with Screen Shot Pro. Screen Shot Pro is packed full of features that you just can't find in most other screen capture software that are priced the same. Here is what you get: Choose your own save directory. Choose between JPG, PNG or BMP image formats. An Image Quality adjuster for better images. Use the Print Screen key or specify your own capture key. A last preview window so you can see the last image you captured. A system tray icon with a menuing system so you can change features without having to open the program. The ability to have the program startup with Windows.
Review
Vista's built-in screen capture feature performs OK, but if you want more control over your screenshots, this little utility may fit the bill.
Screen Shot Pro loads in your system tray and can be configured to run at start-up. A context menu provides options for setting up the program, taking captures, or opening the directory in which it stores captures.
This utility performed well in our tests, and was very easy to use, making it a good tool for novices. We liked that we could configure the output in JPEG, PNG, and BMP formats and could adjust the quality of images. Setting the hot key combination and storage directory also was a snap, as was choosing an option for having a sound effect play with the screen capture.
Screen Shot Pro doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles, but it provides more options than the default Print Screen feature that arrives with Vista. If you frequently need to take screenshots, you'll want to give this utility a try. The trial period is a short seven days, but that's long enough to determine whether this tool's extras are worth the price.
