Features of ZScreen

ZScreen is a free open source screen capture application for Windows which can take different snapshots of your computer screen in an easy way.

This tool allows you to take a full screen shot or capture one of the different regions of the screen.

Zscreen also has the ability to redirect the capture to a photo editior program like Photoshop or Paint or save it to multiple locations e.g. Clipboard, file, ImageShack.

The best and the most useful feature of this utility, is being able to capture a user defined area on the screen. Be it a Image or a portion of a text from a web page.

Each action like taking a full screen capture or a particular selected area has a associated keyboard shortcut making it easier to take screen shot.

However the most outstanding feature of this tool, is the way it can handle the captured images. You can copy them to the clipboard, save them as files, or send them to your Image editor programs.

You can even upload it directly to a pre-configured FTP server or to your online Image hosting servers.

ZScreen as of now supports uploading to Rapidshare, Flickr, Image shack, Tinypic, Twitter etc. Thatโ€™s I feel is quite a list, canโ€™t ask for more.

The only downside of this otherwise useful tool, is the program doesnโ€™t include any editing tools, for which you may need to use other third party photo editing software. But than, itโ€™s a screen capture tool and does its job well.
