Subject:know a good tool for web screen caps? From:"McDonald, Nancy A." <NMcDonal -at- wcom -dot- net> To:"'techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com'" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 13 Jun 2000 11:46:59 -0400
Hi, Whirlers....
I'm wondering what kind of good picture capturing/cropping tool I should use
for this task: I'm writing a User Guide for a web-based database
application. For example, when I alt-print screen for the log-on box, which
is on the website, I get the whole web page pasted in.... and I need to crop
it to just the log-on box.... but when I use MsPaint (I'm in an NT
environment) I get a very fuzzy whole page...
I've got a PaintShop Pro (ver 5.01) but don't know if it's worth it to
install and use...
Any good suggestions for tools I could use??
TIA,
