Sean Brierley's "Screen Captures 102" paper is an
excellent resource for all you'd ever want to know
about screen captures.

Eric Ray does a good job at explaining the various
formats you may wish to work with.

Christopher McCarthy's posted summary of screen
capture tools is still fairly relevant today.
