Screen Capture Tool Rate

Often easy way to report a bug is to make picture of screen. Until that day I had to use Gadwin tool for that purposes and if I needed to do some marks - I used MS Paint. But that process is taking quite a lot time and effort, so I decided to find a new tool to capture and edit pictures faster and easier.

I had further requirements:
* The tool have to be free;
* It should work on Windows 7;
* It should work at background;
* It should have hot-keys;
* It should save files in popular extensions, such as JPEG or PNG (hello, Snag);
* The process should be done with minimal amount of clicks.

So I downloaded some tools and started to rate them.
Here are tools, that are too complicated in the first step, so I unistalled them right after opening:
* SnapShot
* Screenshot Captor
* SnapDraw
* Screen Grab Pro
* Puush
* EasyCapture
* Screen Hunter

Here are tools, that passed the smoke test:

Tool	Background	1-key Start	Editing	Extentsion	Fast
Jing	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Gadwin PrintScreen	Yes	Yes		Yes
DuckCapture	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Lightscreen	Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes
Cropper	Yes	Yes			Yes
Snipping Tool			Yes	Yes
Capture View			Yes	Yes
FastStone Capture	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Greenshot	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Horizon33				Yes
Lightshot	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
PrtScr	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
ScreenPresso	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
VVCap	Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes

As you can see, all yeses have only one tool - PrtScr. So PrtScr it is!

Why PrtScr is cool:
a) I click "Print Scrn";
b) holding mouse right button I highlight something (+Ctrl if you want a rectangle);
c) with mouse left button I select the capture area (+Ctrl to rectangle);
d) I have a JPEG file in the specific place, without any edit or save buttons.

Example of the result:


Why PrtScr is not perfect:
There is no undo command: if you did 2 selections and the 3thd was incorrect, to fix that you should start all over again.
