A program for high-quality screenshots from the screen. Screenshots

First of all, in order to use this software, you must at least have an installation distribution or go to the Internet and free download software for taking screenshots... Believe me, there are quite a few such programs on the Internet. Each of these programs differs in its functional set, however, only one thing is common to all applications of this type - they can create copies of what is currently displayed on the monitor, and many of them are designed to use two or more monitors. First of all, this is due to the fact that the Windows operating system allows you to stretch the desktop across multiple screens.

The development of the Internet, as well as the means of communication and communications, makes it easy to download programs for taking screenshots for free. Besides, installation distributions of such applications, as a rule, do not take up much space. The maximum size that programs of this type have is not more than 10 MB.

Previously, to create a screenshot, the standard procedure for pressing the PrtScr (Print Screen) key was used, which, in fact, meant taking a screenshot. However, after pressing this key, the content of the graphic object itself was copied to the clipboard, after which, in all cases, without exception, it was necessary to open the graphic editor and paste the content there. If you set out to download programs for taking screenshots, then you should pay special attention to programs that support the creation of screenshots not only in the Desktop area, but also individual elements, including active or inactive windows with the ability to scale when capturing an image.

To date, many developers of this software pay quite a lot of attention to the fact that applications of this type help the average user, for example, to prove the existence of a particular problem on a computer. You can find and download programs for taking screenshots for free, and then use them really as proof of the legitimacy of your actions in the system. This, first of all, can be attributed to some errors that arise in one or another specialized software, especially when you work outside the central office. Typically this type of problem can be described as "I can't do this or that." And then go and prove it to your superior. If you download programs for taking screenshots, and then install them on your computer, in most cases, by taking a screenshot, you can show your bosses that the program gives such and such an error or works this way and that.

By and large, the use of such programs is of particular interest to many users. Judge for yourself, after all, in essence, you get a snapshot of the screen, no matter whether it is the Desktop or the currently running program, and you see all the processes that are happening at the moment. Roughly speaking, programs of this level are nothing more than an ordinary virtual camera capable of capturing this or that graphic image that is present on the computer screen at the moment.

Before getting down to business!
I just can't help but share the good news in my blog :) Literally 2 (Two) days ago, my son Kirill taught him to walk independently and without my wife and I support !!!
For several days already stomping around the apartment! Before that, he could only walk a couple of meters and back on his knees, but now he practically does not crawl!
I am as happy as a little child who was shown a trick)))

Best PC Screenshot Software

This is a program called “ Screenshot Creator". In my opinion it is the best screenshot program... I have been using it for several years now and have never been disappointed in the work of the program!

The program does not require installation on a computer. Soma program, after launch, sits in the system tray, like most other similar programs.

Screenshot can be taken without getting the program out of the tray. To do this, you must first set hot keys!

It is very convenient to work with the program ! Other similar programs must first be called from the tray and only then start taking screenshots. In my opinion, this is not very convenient!

What could be more convenientthan simply pressing one button and screenshot taken?

An important function is the imposition of an inscription on the captured screenshot. The function is available in almost every program of this kind! For some reason, I haven't used this function until this day!

Possible lettering settings!

At the discretion of the user, he can add the date and time of the screenshot, I see no reason to use it, why?

Text formatting... Changes to the font, as well as its size. You can add a background for your text.

Label locations... The screenshot above shows all the text layout options in the screenshot. It is also possible to manually adjust the indents. Both horizontally and vertically!

A functional program for taking screenshots!

Another interesting program "Snapa Shot"! Requires installation! But there are some interesting features that you should pay attention to.

To take a screenshot of the screen, you have two options! Let's just say - the first, simple, the second advanced. It turns out something like this! Everything in order.

First: After selecting the desired area, you need to click the button with the disk icon "Save". In this case, you will be prompted to save the picture and that's it! Take a screenshot!

Second: The second way is more interesting! Click the button with the camera icon, as shown by the arrows in the screenshot above.
The following features will appear!

Two sliders will appear in the lower right corner. With their help, the screenshot can be made lighter or darker!

Thus, you can customize the screenshot as you like!

In the left area of \u200b\u200bthe window there is a button with a green arrow, click it and you will see another series of interesting possibilities!

As you can see from the screenshot, you can set the "Sepia" effect for the captured screenshot, as well as "B / W" (Black and White screenshot!)

You can also send a screenshot by mail, but for this you need to set up a standard mail client. Print the screenshot or just save it to disk.

But that's not all!

I suggest you click the "Shapes" button and get acquainted with the more advanced features of the program!

Section " Transformation"The most interesting, and we will analyze it.

First button ... Rotates the picture 270 degrees.

Second button ... This button will rotate the screenshot 90 degrees.

Third button. Allows you to display the screenshot horizontally!

Fourth button ... Will display the picture vertically, in fact, just turn the picture upside down and that's it!

Fifth button ... This is where the fun begins (!!!) After clicking this button, the Frame Effects window will open

You can frame the screenshot to your liking. Create a "glow" around the screenshot of any color.

Or rotate the screenshot as you like using "Transform"

With the option "Reflections" it is possible to reflect the picture, for example, in this way! The radius of the reflection is adjusted with the "Size" slider and the "Offset" slider can be used to adjust the distance from the original image to the reflected one!

Sixth button : Here you can set 3D effects for the captured screenshot. By and large, the parameters of the 3D window are no different from the previous window. Except for one.

The "Transformation" parameter allows you to distort the screenshot as you like. For example, like this!

This concludes the story about this program, although it has other options. Such as "Watermarks" "Hot Keys" and many more.

It is worth saying that the program is really good if you need to apply various effects to the screenshot.

There is no need to run Photoshop again!

How to take a screenshot of the screen and get a link.

The next and last program that will be discussed will be useful to people who share their screenshots on various resources, sites, forums and others!

The program does not have the ability to save a screenshot to disk. After taking a screenshot, it will automatically upload it to the program developer's site. There you can also get various links for publishing the screenshot on other resources!

The program essentially has no interface! There is only one that can be called by the icon in the system tray.

Let's take one free screenshot as an example and see how it works!

Select "Free screenshot" from the menu and after selecting the desired area of \u200b\u200bthe screen, press the "Enter" key

As soon as the "Enter" key is pressed, a screenshot will be taken and it will be immediately uploaded to the program developer's site.

To view the screenshot, go to the menu:

The page of the site will open at the address "ssmaker.ru/My". All screenshots you have taken will be displayed on this page.

Click on the required screenshot and a page will open where you can get various links to the screenshot!

How to take a screenshot of an entire website page.

To take a screenshot of the entire site - the entire page, from the very top to the very bottom, select "Screenshot of the web page"

The following window will open in front of you. In this window you need to tick the "By Site Height" checkbox and enter the address of the site you need in the "WEB page address" field.

Also, do not forget to select the screen resolution you need. Click the Create button.

The screenshot will be created, and also uploaded to the address "ssmaker.ru/My". I got this screenshot of my blog.

This concludes my post! If you liked the article, subscribe to blog updates and you will be the first to know about new posts!

You may need to take a screenshot in a variety of situations, so you need to be prepared for this, having at hand a special convenient free program.

Better to see once than hear a hundred times! And it is true. More than 70% of information about the world around the average person perceives visually. For example, with a computer: you can talk for a long time about what and where to press to get this or that result. Or you can just show it all with one single image with a screenshot.

Such pictures are usually called screenshots. They allow you to quickly and clearly demonstrate any sequence of actions with a computer or certain programs. Their advantage, for example, over video in small size and the ability to print on paper without losing information content.

The function of taking screenshots is so in demand that it is built into most operating systems. However, in order to create a really good screenshot, it needs to be processed with various explanations. Therefore, there are so many special programs for creating screenshots, which we will get acquainted with today.

How screenshots are taken

In Windows, a whole key on the keyboard is nominally allocated to create screenshots - Print Screen (PRT SCR). Pressing it automatically saves the current screen state to the clipboard. To save it as an image file, it is enough to open any graphics editor (for example, the regular Paint) and insert the image stored in the buffer into its working area.

If you need to capture not the entire screen, but active window only, then this can be achieved by holding down before pressing Print Screen, key ALT... In Windows 8 and older, another combination for taking screenshots was also added - WIN + PrtScr... With its help, you can automatically save a screenshot of the entire screen to a file that will be placed in the "Screenshots" folder in the "Images" directory.

In addition, starting with Windows Vista, the operating system has a tool "Scissors"... In fact, it is already more or less a self-contained utility for creating screenshots. It allows you to save snapshots not only of the entire screen or the active window, but also of an arbitrarily selected area, and also makes it possible to add explanatory notes and make notes:

However, all this is suitable only for personal use, where special aesthetics are not required. If you need to share the screenshot with the general public, then the crookedly drawn arrows and far from ideal freehand strokes will not look entirely appropriate. Therefore, a good screenshot program should first have in its arsenal tools for drawing neat explanatory elements.

The minimum set of such elements can be called:

• text signatures;
• arrows;
• crop tool;
• basic geometric shapes (with and without filling);
• a brush or pencil for freehand marks and an eraser to remove them.

Advanced screenshot shooters also usually have several advanced screen capture modes. Among them, the most useful, in my opinion, are capture window element and scrolling window capture.

Some programs, in addition to taking screenshots, also allow you to record screen video and even with sound! However, these are additional functions, of which there can be quite a few and which differ significantly for different software manufacturers.

Actually, we found out what a good screenshoter should be able to do, and now we will consider some of them and compare their capabilities in order to choose the most suitable one for you!

Picpick

I confess :) At the beginning of my software testing career, I used a hacked version of the popular SnagIt screenshot to take screenshots. However, as I gained experience with free software, I decided to find a free analogue of this program with the most similar functionality. And the result of the search was a free program that I have been using for more than one year:

The PicPick program has an initially Russian-language interface, a built-in graphic editor with the necessary set of tools, as well as a large number of screen capture modes (with customizable hot keys) and a number of additional tools. In addition, a portable version is available on the official website, which does not require installation!

The program allows you to capture the screen both in full (including the contents of a scrolling window), as well as selected parts or even fragments of working windows. The only thing PicPick can't do is capture video. But there are other programs for this, if that ...

As for the built-in editor tools, there is almost everything you need: several types of beautiful arrows, various selection styles, callouts, adding text areas, shading, blurring and pixelation effects. The only thing that I personally lack is the function of inserting a translucent watermark in the place I need with the ability to correct its position by simply dragging and dropping.

You can save the finished screenshot in any popular format on your local computer or online (FTP servers, Imgur "clouds" (without registration), Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive (all with registration), Facebook and Twitter social networks are supported). Also, if you have a mail client configured, the resulting image can be directly sent by mail to the addressee you need.

In addition to the function of taking screenshots, PicPick has a number of additional tools that will be useful for a designer or web developer. These tools include: a choice of color under the cursor, a color palette for calculating an RGB code of any shade, a 10x screen magnifier, a pixel ruler, a calculator of coordinates of points and angles on the screen, as well as a full-fledged slate board for drawing on the screen "freehand" ...

In general, PicPick, in my opinion, is one of the best screenshots. And it would have been the best, if not for minor flaws in the functionality that the developers cannot correct in any way, and the licensing principle. The latter implies that the program can only be used for personal non-commercial activities. So, if you want to use the program in an organization, you will have to pay about $ 25 for it.

Greenshot

If you are a fan of OpenSource software and want to use your favorite tool in any conditions, then you may like the completely free Greenshot screenshot software:

Despite the fact that the official website of the program is in English, the program interface itself is almost completely Russified. There is an official portable build that does not require installation, as well as access to the Greenshot source code.

The program itself has a relatively small "weight" (just a little more than a megabyte), but contains a very impressive arsenal of possibilities:

• full page browser window capture;
• support for uploading screenshots to the Internet;
• oCR on the screenshot (including the Russian language !!!);
• connecting modules and external scripts of commands.

In terms of operation, the program is in many ways similar to the PicPick discussed above. Here we can also configure any keys for one or another capture option, as well as redirect our capture to the built-in graphics editor. The latter, unfortunately, is not so convenient. Its main problem is the lack of image scaling. In addition, there is no support for hotkeys (you have to manually switch tools using buttons on the toolbars).

The set of supported services for downloading screenshots online is about the same as that of PicPick (you can see the orientation towards popular Western "clouds"). However, there are also some peculiarities. Greenshot is a modular program. This means that, theoretically, you can add a module for it that will upload the image where you need it (though you need to be able to program for this :)).

By the way, about the modules. Greenshot has an almost complete OCR engine that even works! Moreover, even with Russian text !!! If you press the "OCR" button on the toolbar, the program will honestly "pull" the text from your screenshot to the clipboard and you will only have to put it in a text editor. The only thing is that you must first specify the recognition language in the "Settings" of the program.

Greenshot is a very interesting and promising project, but, alas, it is still a little raw and its everyday use can cause a number of difficulties. However, if you are looking for a free screenshot with the possibility of commercial use, then you can take a closer look at it.

ShareX

While looking for good and completely free software for taking screenshots, I came across another interesting OpenSource project called ShareX:

Like Greenshot discussed above, ShareX is completely free. But at the same time, its functionality is much closer to PicPick, and in some aspects even surpasses it (it's a pity, however, not in all)! The main "trump cards" of ShareX are:

• availability of all existing capture modes with the ability to reassign "hot" keys (including scheduled capture!);
• the ability to capture video and create GIF-animation (requires resuming the ffmpeg component);
• a huge number of "clouds" available for instant download of screenshots (by default Imgur);
• generation of short links, previews and QR codes for distributing screenshots on the Internet;
• built-in graphic editor;
• built-in OCR system with support for Russian language recognition;
• availability of additional tools (Palette, Eyedropper, Screen Ruler, Image Combine, etc.).

As you can see, the set of tools is more than solid. However, alas, not everything is as smooth here as we would like. There are no questions about the capture function. In ShareX, it is implemented very conveniently and has a large number of options for any need. The "bottleneck" of the program (like many others) is the built-in graphics editor. It has a basic set of necessary elements to highlight and accentuate the desired details, but it lacks, for example, the function of filling and resizing the image. And in general, it is not very convenient ...

There is support for "hot" keys, but they do not always work. In addition, some changes (for example, cropping) for some reason cannot be undone. However, in fairness, it is worth noting that the ShareX editor supports translucency and can correctly insert any pictures over the edited image (for example, the same watermarks). In general, you can use the built-in editor, but if you decide to do this, you will have to get used to all its features and quirks ...

More successfully than in Greenshot, the function of recognizing text in screenshots is implemented here. Everything happens in a special window, where you can directly select the recognition language and be able to copy the resulting text. Some functions, however, have been implemented rather doubtfully. For example, the thumbnail generator does not know how to reduce images in percent or along a given one of the sides - you need to clearly indicate the width and height ...

The good news is that the program is being developed very actively and many shortcomings are stably corrected in it a couple of times a month. This gives hope that the developers will be able in the near future to modify ShareX to be the best screenshoter. In the meantime, he is also one of the good :)

Monosnap

If you are not a special lover of embellishments and you like to do everything quickly, then the Monosnap screenshot can suit you:

In terms of capture, alas, there are no special amenities. Capture of either the entire screen or a manually selected area is available. But there is the ability to record screen video and even images from a webcam (which is not the case with other competitors).

The built-in graphics editor also does not shine with special functionality. Here you can draw basic shapes, create labels, hand-mark and add a blur effect. However, there is no zoom, no fill, no normal selection of areas of the edited image.

Joxi

At the end of our review, I would like to mention another free domestic tool for express exchange of screenshots online Joxi:

For full use, it is advisable to register a free account on the website of the program developers (you can through the program itself). This will enable you to instantly upload your screenshots online. Free 1 GB of space is available for your images, which are stored on the server for up to 90 days. For 400 rubles a year, you can switch to Joxi Plus mode to expand the storage up to 3 GB and remove some restrictions (the maximum upload file size is more than 20 MB, direct link generation and connecting your own Dropbox or FTP server).

In terms of functionality, here, like Monosnap, only capture the entire screen or a manually selected area is available. But there is no support for video capture and direct uploading of files to online storage. But Joxi has a plugin for the Google Chrome browser that allows you to take screenshots of web pages with scrolling or fragmentary, and at the same time does not require the installation of the program itself:

The screenshot editor is identical for both the desktop and browser versions of Joxi. Here, again like Monosnap, there are basic selection and emphasis tools, but some of the usual functions of traditional graphic editors (for example, eraser, normal selection and overlaying image fragments) are missing.

The advantage of Joxi over Monosnap is its focus on Russian-speaking users. The finished screenshot can be uploaded not only to the online storage, but also to our popular social networks: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, this can be done in one click by specifying a special key combination for the service you need!

Summing up, I can say that setting Joxi as the main screenshoter is not suitable for everyone due to its "scanty" functionality. But as an extension for Chrome, it is quite a handy tool for quickly sharing a snapshot of the browser state.

Comparison

We have briefly reviewed the features of the best free screenshot software and now summarize the information about them in a pivot table:

conclusions

In my sophisticated opinion, alas, there are no ideal free programs for creating professional screenshots. In each of them something is missing. Either there are few capture options, or a very modest editor, or even a lack of any important tools! Although, for personal everyday needs, you can easily take any of the screenshots we have reviewed - they all have the necessary minimum of functions!

Many programs from our review have official portable versions, however, if you do not want to download and install anything at all, then you may need special services for creating screenshots online (yes, there is one!). Successful shots and may your screenshots always look professional!

P.S. It is allowed to freely copy and quote this article, provided that an open active link to the source is indicated and the authorship of Ruslan Tertyshny is preserved.

Hot Key Screenshot software has been developed to quickly and easily create screenshots in an online game -. Often during the game, you have to create a lot of screenshots in a short period of time. For example, you need to take a series of pictures of an interesting game moment, or quickly remove the offender's actions without being distracted by extraneous actions.
Such standard Windows tools are simply not suitable for these purposes. While we will take the first screenshot and save it to disk, time and moment will be irretrievably lost!

Hot Key Screenshot is free of all these drawbacks. Specifications and capabilities.

Not demanding on system resources. Doesn't load the processor and RAM.
- Create and save screenshots by pressing a hotkey (configurable)
- Saving images in JPEG format, which allows you to maintain good image quality with a small size of the resulting file.
- Ability to adjust the degree of compression of the image (picture quality).

Working window of the program

Working with the program
The program does not require installation and works immediately after its launch. Screenshots are saved in the "pic" folder, which is located in the same folder with the Hot Key Screenshot.exe program file

Default settings
After its first launch on the computer, the program has the following settings:
- Hot key for taking a screenshot - F8.
- The quality of the saved JPEG file is 80%.
- Sound indication of user actions (hotkey selection / taking screenshots) is enabled.

To change the program settings, select the required parameters and click the "Apply" button, after that the new settings will take effect.

* To close the program, use the "Exit" button, or use the "Exit" menu (right-click on the tray icon).

Version history and changes

Version 1.1
Fixed a bug that occurred when changing the screen resolution of the monitor and led to cropping of a part of the image in the screenshot, or overlapping of 2 different images.

If you have any questions about the program, ask them in the comments.

1. Lyudmila 02.06.2011
Thank you for a great and very easy to use program. Quite often you have to take screenshots at work, it's awful how inconvenient it is to press the print screen and then insert the image into the editor. It works very quickly and conveniently!

2. Olga 07.06.2011
Thank you very much for the small program, very convenient, no need to make unnecessary movements, I pressed one button and the picture is ready.

3. Eugene 20.06.2011
Really very simple and convenient program, thanks!

Simple, nimble, small without registration!

5. Paul 16.07.2011
great thing to work with, thank you so much!

6. Goose 21.07.2011
Where is she? Where do screenshots go?

Answer:
The program does not require installation, it is located where you unpacked the archive with the program.
Screenshots are saved to a folder pic, which is located in one folder in the program. The path to this folder is shown in the program window

7.victor 28.07.2011
is it possible to change the address of saving a photo?

Answer:
You can, if you place the program in the folder where you want to save screenshots.

8. Igrok 20.08.2011
The program works miraculously on the fly. I play online games, often take screenshots of game moments. Previously, when using analogs at the time of creating a screen, the computer was very slow and the FPS was below the plinth. With this program, especially if you turn off all sound effects, screenshots are created instantly.

9. Taraska 10.10.2011
A very handy program for screenshots. Of the minuses, it does not take a screenshot of the video file being played. Otherwise, everything is super.

10. Nubochek) 01.11.2011
Hello) I have a question. I make a screen. I look in the pic folder. there is nothing there. What to do?

Answer:
When you take a screenshot, do you hear the sound effect of the program (camera click)?

11. Eugene 26.11.2011
Hello! I have the same question. I make a screen. I look in the pic folder - there is nothing there, the sound effect of the program is also not audible. What to do?

Answer:
The absence of a sound indication means that the program does not record the pressing of the "hot" key, therefore, it will not be able to process this event.

The following reasons for the inoperability of the program are possible.

Sound indication is audible:

The program is in a ZIP archive. Before using it, the archive must be unpacked. Otherwise, the program will not be able to save the data, as it is inside the archive.

The program may have been launched with permissions preventing the creation of files. In Vista - Windows 7, run the program as administrator (right-click on the program file - run as administrator).

Sound indication is not audible:

A reserved hotkey can be used by another application and this can lead to a conflict. Try changing the hotkey to another one.

The program works on the principle used in some keyloggers - tracking the keys pressed. Therefore, in theory, its function of tracking keystrokes can be blocked by some antiviruses. In this case, add the executable file of the program to the exclusions of the anti-virus software.

P / S
In case of problems with the program, please provide more detailed information: OS, Anti-Virus, in order to be able to check the program's performance in real conditions.

i take a screenshot in the game. the sound of the picture I go out, open the folder, there is a picture of the black screen. what to do? costs Win 7 basic

Answer:
The program cannot take a screenshot of an image created with DirectX. In this case, you will see a black window.

13. Vladimir 13.02.2012
I use a program to take screenshots of the screen while reading e-books in PDF format on a laptop. Revealed one joint. When exiting sleep mode, the program takes a screenshot of only the left side of the screen. In the right part of the snapshot, the program inserts a screenshot of the right side of the last snapshot taken before going into sleep mode. After reloading the program, everything works fine. The same jamb appears turning on the screen saver.

Answer:
Thanks for the info, I'll test it.

14. Vova 21.02.2012
Can you please tell me how to make this program take the whole screen, in the game, and not a square

15. Perdozavr 11.04.2012
Thanks. Here is the most adequate program, the rest of the multi-cutters, coffee makers, sock dryers in the blast furnace. Pressed and happiness. Thanks! Good luck with business!

16. Nikita 11.04.2012
The same problem as Vladimir, only when entering the game. After logging in, the program takes a screenshot of only the left side of the screen. In the right part of the snapshot, the program inserts a screenshot of the right side of the last snapshot. After restarting the program, everything works fine. You can, please, fix this problem, well, it is VERY STRONGLY in the way.

Answer:
Vladimir had a problem when he woke up from sleep mode and after turning on the screen saver. Testing in these modes in WIN XP (SP3) did not reveal such a pattern. Perhaps there is a conflict with some program or service on the user's PC.

P / S
The problem can be corrected only if it is recreated on the programmer's PC. It is impossible to fix what is not visible. And for this ...

If you write about a problem, then do not be lazy, at least inform about the type of your OS, what game in question and take a series of screenshots where the problem will be visible. In general, we need not general information, but specific information that will help to recreate this problem on any PC.

17. Nikita 12.04.2012
O.S. - Windows 7 x64. I go to the online game Crossfire. And here is [link] to the screenshot that turns out (The previous screenshot, as you guessed it, was Total Commander) And in all subsequent screenshots, TotalCommander was also on the right.

Answer:
I managed to create similar conditions on my PC, find the source of the problem, and fix the problem. The program is updated, please download the archive and replace your executable file. Please let us know if your problem is resolved.

18.Kirill 20.05.2012
And where to watch the screenshot taken

Answer:
Screenshots are saved to the "pic" folder, which is in the same folder with the Hot Key Screenshot.exe program file

19.Sergey 17.08.2012
constant interruptions with the "hot key", does not remember either ctrl or F8 ... every time I set up a new one ... XP costs, the firewall was comodo now pc tools ... all the same.

Answer:
Let's go in order.

All program settings, including "hot keys", are stored in the set.ini file, which in turn is located in the same folder with the program.

This file does not exist by default and is created only after changing the default settings. In order for the settings to take effect, you need to click the "Apply" button.

If the file is missing, or has been deleted (not found), then the default settings are in effect. To take a screenshot - F8 key.

Those. if for some reason your hotkey is not configured, then F8 should work. If it doesn't, something might be blocking the program from checking the state of keystrokes on the keyboard.

20. Daniel 04.11.2012
Thanks to the developers for such a program. It helps a lot to capture interesting moments from the game! And it's free.

21. Michael 08.11.2012
Does WIND work in 7?

Answer:
Works, corrected in the description.

22.Sergey 10.11.2012
Hello, I have such a problem, I downloaded your program and threw it into the "New folder" on the desktop, the program works correctly, but now I go into the game "NFS Underground 2" and this program, although it takes a screenshot, but not from my game, otherwise what happened before opening it on the desktop, in general, in the game "NFS Underground 2" this program for some reason does not take a screenshot, explain why or maybe you need to first open the program and then just the game? Explain, I look forward to hearing!

Answer:
Hello.
Program version 1.1? If so, it's hard to say what the problem is. I downloaded a demo of the game, screenshots are taken on default settings, although they are not always fully drawn.

P / S
This game is built on DirectX and even if everything works for you, you will not be able to take high-quality screenshots.

I use the program for its original purpose for online tanks.

Often there are situations when servers "collapse", which means the loss of the fund, if there is no evidence (screenshots / video). Sometimes you just forget to screen or too lazy to screen it periodically.

In general, a question-wish:
I would very much like to be able to make automatically screenshots at the desired frequency with a parallel pressing of "Tab", so that not only your results, but also the results of all players, are visible, so that later you can submit tanks to helpps for distributing the fund. The choice of the interval between the screens is to choose in the form of "make screenshots of the hour: min: sec". That is, the possibility, once pressing the start of the program, no longer think about until the next press-off.

Answer:
There is always a hotkey in the program. To reset all program settings, just delete the set.ini file, it is located in the same folder with the program (Hot Key Screenshot.exe file).

Hello! I wrote to you about a glitch in the program (entry 13) and your answer is entry 16. Now I tested a new version of the program - 1.1 After starting the screen saver, the problem no longer exists !!! So the problem was in the program, not in the computer. After going into sleep mode, I did not check it, I believe that everything is in order too! WinXP SP2 build CHIP XP. Thank you for the program - everything you need and nothing more. By the way, the IL-2 works great in the game!

Answer:
Yes, the problem was in the program.

Proposal for improving the program. The program would be much more convenient if the user himself could assign names to a group of screenshots, and the program would assign them a serial number. For example, "War and Peace_1", "War and Peace_2", etc. Something similar to how a program for collecting images from digital cameras assigns file names. With best regards, Vladimir.
