Also there is a dedicated hotkey available for repeating the capture of the same area, if you need to keep capturing the same area over and over.

I got a nice human email from the folks at findmysoft.com pointing out the review they did for Screenshot Captor, including a nice overview video:

It's rare these days when a software site actually takes the time to use your software, and rarer still to get a nice real human email from them about it, so I just wanted to acknowledge their work.

Nice write-up of the new release by BetaNews writer Nick Peers, who clearly took the time to read about the new features:

Not a review nor a comment, but just a listing to portablefreeware.com: http://www.portablef...om/index.php?id=2412

@mouser: if you have any observation, please tell me so I can modify the database entry accordingly.

The FileForum site is really great about posting announcements of beta releases of Screenshot Captor:
http://fileforum.bet...-Captor/1119683215/1

It's just a shame that there are so few user reviews of SC there, and no good ones for almost two years..

Nice short post on "Dr. Andus's toolbox" blog:

Then I remembered that I still had a copy of Screenshot Captor (SC), which the first time put me off with its busier interface.

However, having spent a bit more time with SC, I was amazed with all the extra and really well-thought-out functionality. Its Quick-Capture bar turned out to be the solution to my problem, as I could take the screenshot with one click of the mouse, which overrode the keyboard sensitivity of the software window I wanted to capture.

Since then I’ve switched to SC as my main screenshot software, as it speeds up greatly the whole process of capturing the screenshot, editing the file name, and editing the image itself, as part of e.g. creating screenshots for this blog.

Screenshot Captor is featured in PC World' just posted "Show, don't tell: 6 great tools for capturing, annotating, and sharing screenshots":

http://www.pcworld.c...ing-screenshots.html
Screenshot - 11_19_2013 , 5_31_01 PM_thumb001.png

Compared to both Screenpresso and Snagit, Screenshot Captor feels utilitarian and complex. But it's also very powerful, and perhaps more important, it's free/donationware. Screenshot Captor has all the same capture tools Screenpresso and Snagit feature, including scrolling capture. In fact, its scrolling capture feature even out-performed Snagit's in a PCWorld's review of a previous version... If you prefer a more traditional look to your utilities, or want to try a powerful free tool before shelling out money for a commercial alternative, you should try out Screenshot Captor. If you find it useful, consider donating to the developer.

From Software Informer:

"I can only highly-recommend this tool as it is, without doubt, one of the best free screen capture tools that one can find."

I like SC very much. Thank you Mouser!

Final rating: Excellent

Awesome, thanks for sharing that!

"Screenshot Captor is just not another average screen grabber. It stands out thanks to its multitude of editing tools and file management options. It can be used for simple daily tasks up to complex jobs where you need to take lots of screenshots and edit them in detail. The advanced feature pack and comprehensive suite of configuration settings make it a serious competitor to other software programs that are not free, and place it in the category of one of the best screenshot capture utilities on the market."

p.s. I'm going to move this post to the Screenshot Captors review thread in a little bit.

Screenshot Captor is Download of the Day at TechRadar

Screenshot Captor is Download of the Day at TechRadar

Screenshot - 11_17_2016 , 8_11_06 AM.png

It also offers visual embellishments such as borders and shadows, and automatic file naming. It offers easy watermarking, integration with image editing apps and Windows Explorer integration, and its microscopic system requirements mean you can leave it running all the time without worrying about a negative effect on your PC’s performance.. it’s much more useful than anything Windows itself offers.

I cannot stop laughing at what they wrote  ;D ;D ;D

Captor. Captor. Captor. Nope: try as we might, we can’t help thinking that the developers have made a mistake naming this one: captor usually means something that has captured something else and is keeping that thing prisoner. Sinister naming aside - what’s next? Vid Napper?

Screenshot Captor is designed to do one thing and do it well: capture a screenshot and keep it prisoner. Er, we mean capture a screenshot and enable you to use it elsewhere.

_______________________________
Yes, well, depressingly, they probably did not write it for peoples' amusement. The thing was apparently intended to be a technical review in what was (or what used to be) a relatively credible technical website blog.
Although they describe SC as "A superb screen grabber with a not so superb name" they fail to substantiate why it is superb, then spend valuable column inches wasting the reader's time with vapid comments about the name, finishing up with the unsubstantiated and blatantly wrong statement that:
If you’re running Windows 10 you probably don’t need it, but on older Windows devices it’s much more useful than anything Windows itself offers.
With all that seemingly misplaced focus and superficial chitchat, the reader is probably at least left none the wiser, and at worst, misled, as to why he/she would want to download the software.

Some people (not me, you understand) might say that techradar could have written an interesting, accurate and useful pukka technical review and evaluation of the SC, using as much or (if done properly) more space than the facile piece that they did write, and that it was unfortunately a lazy and moronic review with no valuable or useful technical depth to it at all, however I couldn't possibly comment.

Short and imperfect ("free" rather than "donationware") comments on the TrishTech blog, concluding:

Screenshot Captor is a complete screen capture tool with multi-monitor support. It can capture the screen or part of it using a number of methods. You can also use it to annotate and edit he captures screenshots easily.

That doesn't qualify as a review.  It's simply a badly written (and wrong in places) rundown of what Screenshot Captor does (in fact, it doesn't even do this seeing as one of the main points is that SSC doesn't have any of its own editing functions  :huh:)

Even though Screenshot Captor does not come with any of the editing tools of its own, you can configure it to work with any of the other image editors, watermarking tools, batch image resizing tools and so on. Screenshot Captor is available both as a setup installer as well as a portable program.


I decided to leave a comment on the "review" but I highly doubt they will publish it, so I shall do so here:

“Computer technology in plain English”

The fact you keep referring to it as “the Screenshot Captor” rather than just “Screenshot Captor”, and a large amount of spelling/grammatical mistakes absolutely infuriates me.

On another note, you state that Screenshot Captor does not have an editing suite of its own…this is false…had you have opened the software you would have seen that it has an entire suite of editing tools.

One final note: On what planet is this a review? You simply told us (wrongly) what the software is and does…a review would usually contain the “reviewers” opinions on such things…even your conclusion doesn’t contain any such thing…and in fact, the conclusion actually contradicts your suggestion that this software does not have it’s own editing tools.

This is really just a shameful attempt to gain traffic by purporting to have reviewed something popular.
