Taking
screenshots on a Windows OS can be done in many ways. You can use 3rd
party software such as Shutter, Greenshot, or Screenshot Utility. The simplest default way, unfortunately, is to
press the PrtScn button on the keyboard, open the Paint program, paste it, and
then save it as an image. This is unnecessary and can take a lot of time
depending on the amount of screenshots you’re taking. To avoid this hassle and
breeze right through your captures, consider using FiaStarta’s program PrtScr.
PrtScr allows dead simple and super
quick options for saving screenshots. After install and upon its first run,
access the default settings by right-clicking the icon in the taskbar and
choosing Show settings.
Calling PrtScr can be done by using a
custom key combination. This can be useful if at times you’d like to use the
default Windows print screen utility as well as PrtScr. Other options are
available such as adding a comment or saving as a specific image file or
quality.
Once all the options are set as desired,
simply key in the combination you’ve set to take a new capture.
This is where the magnificence of PrtScr
is shown. Simply click To desktop to
send the image straight to the desktop with no more options or wait time. You
won’t find this simplicity elsewhere. Edit…
will open Microsoft Paint and allow an edit right from the program, still
without saving. Email… , Print…, To clipboard, and Discard
are just as they seem.
Choosing Settings before proceeding will let you change the default ones
we’ve set above only for this one image.
These quick buttons make it painless to
take action on your screenshots exactly at the time you’d always liked to,
right away!
FiaStarta lists
a number of shortcuts for use during a capture:
o
LMB (Left Mouse
Button): selects the zone to capture and completes the capture (so this should
be your last step)
o
RMB (Right Mouse
Button): draws annotations over pre-capture
o
Ctrl+LMB/RMB:
selects/draws rectangle
o
Mouse wheel:
changes thickness of annotation ink
o
Delete/BackSpace:
deletes most recent annotation ink
o
Escape: cancels
capture
o
Return, Space:
selects whole screen for capture
o
ALT+Prt Scr:
captures topmost window only
o
(Ctrl+)mouse
wheel, NumPad +/-, PgUp/PgDn, Home/End: zooms in/out capture
o
Arrow keys:
enlarges/shrinks capture
o
NumPad 7/9/3/1:
set capture corners
o
MMB (Middle Mouse
Button): toggles resampling quality
o
RMB: gets back to
capture
This has been tested on Windows 7 x64
but is documented as working on XP as well.
