WinShot is a compact program that lets you quickly and precisely capture an image of any window (including controls) or any part of the screen (with or without the mouse cursor). The captured image can be copied to the clipboard or saved as BMP, GIF, PNG or JPG file. You can select a color depth, shrink the image, adjust JPEG quality, etc. A preview window immediately displays the result of your actions. The program will help you to optimize captured images. This tool can be especially useful for documentation writers.
