Screen capture

I have that but I wanted to copy just a PART of the desktop, IE: the
placement of my icons on the left side and it insists on copying the whole
screen. My error? Just use my paper cutter and be quiet? :)

The requirement to capture PART of the screen will automatically make
the app more complicated. You could always capture the full window and
then use an app like Irfanview to crop it.

BTW, the easiest screen capture utility I've used is Purrint

I use Screenshot Captor myself because it has all I need for cropping
built in, text comments, arrows etc.

Many however would call that nagware, or crippleware, rather than
freeware. From their site ;

"Because you are not yet a donating member of our site you will have
to generate license keys for each of our programs separately, and
these license keys will expire after 180 days from today.

You may, however, generate new keys whenever you like which will
extend the use of the program another 180 days, indefinitely."

IMO people who don't want this "annoyance ware" should look
elsewhere.

Yes, I know that there are variations on the theme of how to do a screen
dump. As I said originally, I've got several 'Screen Capture' programs
installed, but I invariably just hit the 'Print Screen' key, open
Microsoft Photo Editor, 'Edit', 'Past as New Image', trim as required,
then save. It doesn't get much simpler than that (and avoids having to
think too much!).

What I would like is more dpi. The only thing which help is to expand
the image on the screen to fill it as much as possible, but often you
can't do this. 'Archangel' says that the 72 dpi I get is a function of
the resolution settings of my monitor, so it's not really practical to
change this. I was hoping that there would be a screen capture program
which would give more dpi then Print Screen.

You'll be telling me next that 'size doesn't matter'!
No, I do appreciate that dpi isn't everything. I'll have a read. I
reckon that my elderly 1.3 megapixel camera is often superior to the 3
megapixel camera. However, the camera size is inversely proportional to
the resolution.
