Every now and then, there's screen capture or image you stumble across that you just have to share. Climsy is a nice, simple Windows program which makes the process dead simple. It works the way FluffyApp does: take a screenshot or right-click and copy an image to your clipboard in any application, and Climsy will file it to a folder of your choosing or upload to either your Dropbox account, ...

Up until now, all the Android app screenshots you've seen floating around have been taken using either the Android SDK or third-party applications which require root access. That's because Android -- unlike webOS and iOS -- hasn't provided a simple way for users to capture images on their devices' screens. According to Android Central, that has changed in Android 2.3.3. Rooting will no longer ...

It's no secret that Download Squad likes TechSmith's Snagit. Erez loved the Windows version and Sam raved about the recently-launched Mac version. In fact, the only real problem that both of them discovered is that Snagit, at almost $50, is quite expensive. With excellent, free tools like Skitch and Screenpresso, it's hard to justify such an expense. Which is why you should enter our giveaway! ...

Earlier today I reviewed TechSmith's latest and greatest screen capture and recording tool, Jing. The free version is great -- and it's fantastic that the only branding is at the end of the video, not slathered all over it like most watermarks -- but, as always, the pro version is better. Pro enables a bunch of funky things: it removes branding from videos, enables MPEG-4 encoding, and it ...

TechSmith, with the launch of Snagit more than 20 years ago, is the definitive veteran of screen capture technology. Camtasia Studio, launched almost 10 years later, is now at version 7.1 and remains the best screen recording and video editing suite out there. TechSmith's latest tool, however, is an interesting mix of both Snagit and Camtasia. It's called Jing, and it makes sharing screenshots ...

Here at DownloadSquad, we're pretty heavy users of screenshot software -- whether it be an operating system's built-in tools, or a third-party app, taking screenshots forms part of our day-to-day routine. We've covered the PC version of Snagit extensively in the past, but now that the beta version of Snagit for Mac has hit release candidate it's time to take a look through what you can expect. ...

Snagit is a flexible, powerful tool for capturing some or all of your screen, and it's now available for OS X as a public beta. It docks on a screen edge, where you can either click to pop open the controls, or drag it anywhere as a window. Snagit is extremely easy to use, thanks to a feature called "all-in-one capture." By clicking one big red button, you can capture a selected area, a whole ...

Ever on the lookout for a better screenshot application, I decided to give Jetscreenshot a chance. It's available free right now, so I figured it was worth a shot (pardon the unintentional pun). Like other similar apps, it's a small download and doesn't consume much in the way of CPU or memory while running, and it hides out in your system tray waiting to grab an image. Use its settings screen ...

Anyone that blogs about websites and has tried before knows that getting a decent screencap of a web page can be tricky. Enter FireShot, a Firefox extension that makes quality captures child's play. Install the add-on and you're given FireShot creates a tiny menu on your navigation toolbar that gives quick access to full-page and visible area capture functions. It does a great job at ...

Although there are a lot of different screencasting options out there for the Mac, in our opinion, none has had the power and features of Camtasia Studio (a Windows only app); until now. ScreenFlow from Vara Software is, quite frankly, the best screencasting application for the Mac that we have seen to date -- and trust us, we've tried them all. Taking advantage of Core Animation (making this a ...

Looking for a free Windows screen capture utility now that FastStone has gone from freeware to shareware? Well, for simple screenshots you can still just hit print screen and paste into your favorite image editor. Or you can use irfanview's screen capture utility to capture individual windows. But if you're looking for something a bit more advanced, you might want to check out Window Clippings. ...

I wasn't planning on doing a countdown to Windows Vista until yesterday, and though there are piles of articles out there I could link to about Vista's failings, it seems unfair to focus on that for the week leading up to its release. Maybe I'll alternate days. Today I bring some tips and info for those who are all jazzed for Redmond's new baby. First a tip from the How-To Geek on the Built-in ...

And to think: just last week we were lamenting the absence of Snapz Pro--the granddaddy of Mac screen recording apps--in a MacBook-friendly format. Well, it seems the folks at Ambrosia were listening, to us and everyone else who's been carping about this for months, and today they finally released Snapz Pro X 2.0.3. The big news in the update is Intel Mac support, but users of single-processor PPC ...
