What type of software do you use to take excellent screenshots

[airfieldsim]

I have been using Ctrl + Print Scrn to take screenshots. There are a number of screenshots capturing software out there that will not only capture the screen, but also allow you to edit. Which ones are the best ones? below is a list of the ones I have found so far, please comment - let me know which ones you use.

Don't forget that you can also just press CTRL+. in sim and it will save a screenshot to your X-Plane folder!

Cameron, isn't it Ctrl . (Cmd for mac)?

Whenever I take screenshots in different programs, I just press Cmd Shift 4. (Mac)

When I do that, a crosshair comes up and you simply select the area you want to capture. Simple.

I don't see why you would ever pay for screenshot capture software.

Now all we need is built in video capture...

That's precisely what I said, Jason. CTRL+(plus/and) .
