I’m always looking for free software that will make my daily toil easier to bare. I had found myself needing to create quick screen shots of windows applications, and quickly realized that the ‘PrintScreen’ tool that is shipped with Windows, just didn’t do it for me. There is nothing more tedious than being limited to capturing the full screen, when all I want is to copy the individual application.

I searched high and low for a product that wouldn’t leave me in the poor house and found just what I was looking for, and best of all it’s free. The program I’m talking about is called Gadwin PrintScreen, and let me tell you, this little program rocks. Ordinarily, you would expect to pay a king’s ransom for a program with so many features, and having it all for free is just what the doctor ordered.

My favorite option is the ‘Rectangular Area’ option, which allows me to select an individual portion of the screen, instead of the default full screen. But there’s more, you can auto re-size images as they’re copied, and send the images directly to your email program and much more, how neat is that?
