A posting in the General Discussion section of the forum (
http://www.lantica.com/Forum2/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=gen_disc;action=modify;... ) made me think of a utility that has been very useful to me for a few years. Thought I would mention it here.
The program name is
HardCopy. It is available for downloading at:
http://www.hardcopy.de/hardcopy/english/ ;
It is
freeware, but a registered version with 175 page manual is available for only $15. Comparison of features between free and registered can be seen at
http://www.hardcopy.de/hardcopy/english/pv.php3It is an image processing utility but has some nice features for screen captures and processing of the results. It adds an icon to your SysTray and you can also make hot keys, and right click tools.
Some of the features and capablilties are shown here:
