Don't forget Alt+PrintScreen to get only the currently focused window 😁
I personally have been using https://getgreenshot.org/ for about 5 years or so and it is still one of my favorite. It can replace PrintScreen with a snipping tool that then allows simple edits like adding text, colored rectangles or arrows (amongst other features). Very useful for quick sharing!
Document every fix you come across. This helps you learn/remember things and everyone loves the person who keeps documentation.
They'll likely have a Sharepoint/Wiki/folder full of documentation for you to work from as well. If there's something missing or needs updating - do that.
Write your documentation so that someone with no knowledge of the problem could read it, follow it and solve the issue.
https://getgreenshot.org/ - this tool is pretty great for screenshotting/annotating images.
Entry level tech is a great way to start your career - most of the issues you encounter just take a bit of Googling and common sense to fix.
If it's something you have to escalate, find out if your escalation point is happy to share the solution with you.
Before you ask for help, try some things to fix it. Let your escalation point know what you've tried as well.
Yeah, whenever I post pics from my phone or camera, I always make sure to take a screenshot of the image (GreenShot is a great program!) before posting it, to ensure none of the EXIF is in there.
In the pics I keep, I like to keep the EXIF information, otherwise I'd just strip it out of all my picture folders.
I like Greenshot very much: https://getgreenshot.org.
It's free and open-source.
From their website:
- Quickly create screenshots of a selected region, window or fullscreen; you can even capture complete (scrolling) web pages from Internet Explorer.
- Easily annotate, highlight or obfuscate parts of the screenshot.
- Export the screenshot in various ways: save to file, send to printer, copy to clipboard, attach to e-mail, send to Office programs
Interestingly, I use it every day as well and would often benefit from having the ability to enter text and describe something I'm trying to explain to someone. I usually paste the snip into PowerPoint, add the text and maybe an arrow pointing at something, and then re-snip to send.
I use to use GreenShot and Snagit and it's nice to be able to do this kinda thing: https://getgreenshot.org/assets/screenshots/07-adding-annotations.png
Rather than use Gyazo, which is likely storing all those shots and gifs and shit on their own servers (like LightShot does), check out Greenshot.
If you care about your privacy or whatever, obviously.
On windows I like using Greenshot. It's open source and it basically activates a utility similar to the snipping tool when you hit print screen. You can set a default folder to save the images to. You can also create your own custom file naming convention with wildcards and such.
Pretty useful, and I think the utility warrants a separate program installation if you take screenshots often.
I also use the Gnome environment on Linux and it has that feature essentially built in. Windows needs to get with the times, lol.
Greenshot - free useful and good screenshot capture tool for windows.
Imgur - free useful and good image upload site.
Nettiquette - free useful and polite guide on how not to use curse words against people, when YOU are the one lacking in education.
Nah nicht ganz.
Du hast da einige Optionen mehr. Du kannst z.B. in einen Standart Ordner sichern, Speichern unter, Export direkt in Paint, an alle möglichen Office Produkte senden und so weiter.
Für mehr, siehe hier: https://getgreenshot.org/
Sure!
- Leave any ego at the door
- Keep in contact with communities that will help you
- Documentation can many times answer your question faster than Reddit will
- Ask all the questions, even if they're dumb
- Don't get frustrated, get answers or workarounds
- Get a screenshot program for posting WIPs and issues like Greenshot or Gyazo
- Always post screenshots of your WIP including wireframes and multiple views, especially if you have questions or problems
- Ask for and take all the critique and feedback you can get
I hope you have a great time making stuff and learning things! These are just my opinions, so I hope they're helpful!
Greenshot, ftw. Bank I previously worked at made this available in their software catalog as the only screenshot tool. Changed my life. Would never use anything else.
The most convenient part of it was the ease of setting up a hotkey to take a screenshot of the same section of the screen and simultaneously copy it to the clipboard and save to my documents. I could easily screenshot and paste it into my notes without ever having to leave OneNote.
>if you're taking screenshot, you can use the screen snipping tool built in Win10. :)

Just a small question, what site did you get an MSI installer from for greenshot?
https://getgreenshot.org/2019/01/07/fake-websites-targeting-oss-users-malware/
​
I use Greenshot. It's activated by the PrtScrn button (but that's configurable) and freezes the screen so you can select what you want to capture. Then you have lots of options for what to do with it: copy to clipboard, save immediately to a file, open in an editor (built in or external), upload to imgur for sharing, attach to an email, etc.
There's a dedicated button on your keyboard. It's called the printscreen button. Press if to take a full screenshot
Press alt and printscreen to just get your active window.
Use win-shift-S to select part of the screen.
Or better, install Greenshot then use printscreen as you always have - except with the capability to instantly save your picture of share it to your favourite internet platform.
(I thought windows 11's new functionality would mean I no longer need Greenshot. I was wrong.)
I think OpenCV is probably not the right application for what you're trying to do. You might try Tesseract OCR. In my experience OCR can be great at recognition when it's based on a crisp screenshot (usually it starts to struggle with scanned/photographed images).
What you might try to do is screenshot it, then minimize your RDP session, have your app grab the latest from the clipboard, select the bounds of the OCR you're trying to grab and then OCR that segment.
​
Now, I know everyone else in this thread so far is ignoring your question and looking for alternatives, but since I've given you at least an answer, I'm going to suggest that instead of all that, you give Greenshot a try. It's a great screenshot software and it has a plugin for OCR. It might just do what you want with that plugin.
I'll got with GreenShot You can hook it up to Imgr, and a local folder. Anytime your working on your game, and see something cool, CTRL + Print Screen it. You end up with an archive of screen shots of the game.
Awesome Bump is amazing for creating supporting textures, like normal's from a single diffuse texture. It fills in a lot of gaps
Notepad++ My other go to tool. Word documents take to long to load, and in general i always find myself needing a scratch pad to write idea's, formula's or just a place to write down values. It's like a more organized version of notepad.
My favorite Windows screen shot tool can do a scrolling screen shot in Internet Explorer. Even if you try something else for this problem I'd still recommend Greenshot for all your other needs.
There is a whole range of apps between mspaint and Photoshop. Greenshot for one...
I use mspaint if I am accessing a server remotely and need a screenshot that somehow can't be taken through the RDP, but Greenshot is on everything I control myself.
I tried it when I first heard of it. I was disappointed. Then searched for an alternative and came upon this gem, Greenshot. Can't believe I've lived this long without this awesome program.
Awesome! Work smarter, not harder!
Also, if you're looking to overhaul your desktop screenshot experience, I can highly recommend ShareX. It's basically Windows' Snipping Tool on steroids, or a free version of Snagit. On Mac, use Greenshot. (ShareX and Greenshot are remarkably similar, but ShareX has a lot of extra features for Windows users.)
I'm all for built-in utilities, but when those fail or are removed for no good god-damned reason, then it behooves the end user to find a ready alternative, such as Greenshot
Greenshot is exactly like what you described: https://getgreenshot.org/faq/how-can-i-use-greenshot-for-ocr/
Setup for the OCR plugin is not the simplest and honestly I'm not sure if it supports other languages, but it's so easy to use.
Open source, free and safe. I've used it for years.
Easy, plenty of options. Default: Print Screen will bring up a cross hair to select the region you want to copy. You can set it to capture the whole screen in Preferences.
Screen grabbing software that was introduced to me at work and is completely free.
Greenshot
Built in shortcuts to save images to office packages or to mark up the screen capture you grabbed. Can save the file in multiple file formats. This is great for office work.
From the webpage : Greenshot is a light-weight screenshot software tool for Windows with the following key features:
Quickly create screenshots of a selected region, window or fullscreen; you can even capture complete (scrolling) web pages from Internet Explorer. Easily annotate, highlight or obfuscate parts of the screenshot. Export the screenshot in various ways: save to file, send to printer, copy to clipboard, attach to e-mail, send Office programs or upload to photo sites like Flickr or Picasa, and others.
that being said I can't say enough great things about greenshot. If you often have to annotate screenshots it's a huge timesaver. the auto-numbering feature is a brilliant when I'm preparing manuals or howtos at work.
Check out Greenshot. On-demand whole-screen, by-app, or rectangle screenshotting tool. Built in editor with highlighting and obfuscation. Upload directly to Imgur (as a straight up image, too, not none of that gallery bullshit they're pushing on everyone), Flickr, or save to disk (with or without dialog). Free, open source, on Windows. I've been using it for years.
I must admit that I don't usually use battle mats in PbP games, preferring narrative combat.
But having said that on the few occasions I have needed to clarify the locations of characters or objects I have simply posted an image of the area with the characters and objects marked on it.
The key piece of software that facilitates this is a freeware screen grabber called 'Greenshot', which literally allows me to captured areas of a map that is local to the action so that I can annotate it with Tokens and Notes as necessary.
Where I want to record and save locations so that everyone can remember where things were, or happened I use the mapping tool from World Anvil to save tags that can be referenced by both myself and the players simply by providing a link.
I like using Greenshot because I just press print-screen, select an area, and it automatically uploads it to imgur and puts the link in my clipsboard. (Though you can have it just save to file or upload to other sites)
Click Start, type snip and you'll see "Snipping Tool", launch that and use it to take a "snipshot" (snapshot of defined area).
Alternatively, use Greenshot (https://getgreenshot.org/), to launch automatically to do the same when you do PrtSc.
Ah right, didn't think about that. Haven't needed scroll capture for anything other than websites.
Check out Greenshot. It's another scrnsht program that has scrolling capture
I love that shortcut. I used it like 10+ times a day for work.
Additionally, Greenshot is an amazing opensource screenshot tool. Basically replaces your PrntScrn key and you can edit the screengrab on the fly. It's real handy when taking notes or making documentation
Greenshot will do the same thing on Windows with the caveat that you have to install a Microsoft component called MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging).
I've been using it a while now with pretty good results.
"I don't use reddit on my computer"
dude you posted a picture OF THE COMPUTER haha
there's a button on your keyboard that's specifically for taking screenshots—posting a phone pic is like when boomers print out emails and fax them across the office hahaha
btw there's also this program called greenshot that's excellent—though I personally just paste screenies into irfanview (which is an AWESOME program for basic image manip, and I highly recommend it)
i must then recommend : GREENSHOT
i thin its a great program that allow multiple config for your screenshot. saving them in a folder, selecting a small region, a whole window, auto-uploading to imgur if you wish it so
https://getgreenshot.org/downloads/
I know it doesn't solve the actual problem but have you looked at Greenshot (getgreenshot.org) (You can install it with Ninite too) or another screenshot app? It would let you streamline the screen snipping portion and has a lot of settings. Maybe one of those settings might let you put the image into your clipboard in such a way that Autotask sees it properly?
At the least, your screenshot process could be simplified to:
- Press PrntScrn
- Draw Box
- The image will be in your Pictures\Greenshot\ folder
I use Greenshot, has automatic Imgur upload, just copy to Clipboard, Supercool Area Selection and even a proper and good Editor built in. Best Screenshot Tool I know, and I'm not getting paid by them, I swear!
try posting a screenshot, as it's much easier to read!
recently started using greenshot which I like very much
btw only posting this in case you didn't know how to do a screenie—if you were just on mobile/didn't want to bother then pls ignore
I'm the developer of Greenshot. As there are many channels on the internet I cannot handle all, so I'm a bit late to answer your question. In fact I'm not so active on reddit.
I can tell you Greenshot, as it's available from our website https://getgreenshot.org, currently doesn't have anything that can do this. It's open source on https://github.com/greenshot/greenshot, and all people, due to the technical nature mainly developers, can see exactly what it does and doesn't.
Truth must be told, in theory someone could add something to Greenshot that makes such a feature possible, and roll this out on your PC. But that would be a lot of work, for something which in theory is already possible without Greenshot with less work.
I think your company just want to help their employees with being more productive, and went with an Open Source application BECAUSE it's completely transparent in what it does and there is nothing like that build in. Having multiple screenshot tools in fact is not helpful, maybe they are phasing the other one out?
Greenshot for screenshots.
TinyPNG for image compression to make image file size smaller for better page loading. Although most clients use an image compression app/add-on in WordPress/whatever CMS they use.
LSIGraph for LSI keyword variations. Don't usually need to go this far, by some clients insist.
If you like Snipping Tool, you'll love Greenshot.
Compared to Greenshot, Snipping Tool feels like clunky junk to me. Coworker introduced it to me and I at first resisted (I also used Snipping Tool) but once I started using it, I love it.
Ok, multi-monitor support, only active window, custom short-cut, auto-save without going through clipboard or snipping tool. I think that goes beyond what Windows offer natively and into third party apps territory.
Google "Greenshot", at https://getgreenshot.org/ or Microsoft Store. It's small, free, open-source and just sits quietly in the background.
I gotch'u fam. Fertility Friend desktop version, Greenshot tool for easy picture taking, and sign into imgur.com with an account before you upload the images there. I tend to snap screenshots of my progression view to be saved for all of eternity.
Honestly, the 90 days thing gets a bit annoying when you start a fresh cycle and have to scroll past the previous cycle to see this one's progression. https://i.imgur.com/Dcg74w5.png
If you're using the arrows, you might check out Greenshot as an alternative. It has arrows too but it also has some other features that I use in IT every day. In addition to making arrows it lets me quickly and easily put counters on them to walk someone through a process step by step, as well as highlight areas to make them stand out as "PAY ATTENTION" vs irrelevant parts of the UI. Works great. Like this!
I can obfuscate parts I need to hide, draw boxes and circles around items, etc. I have used both tools but for IT/documentation, I think Greenshot is the better tool.
I mean, while we’re doing apps Greenshot is a phenomenal Windows screenshot program. Ninite is also amazing as it acts almost like a freeware SCCM for programs.
Personally I'm a fan of greenshot. Free, binds to print screen key, freezes your monitor to the moment you hit the key, lets you pick the area, lets you open the saved image in a lightweight image editor (great for adding arrows or boxes), direct print, mspaint, optional office plugin, and even a direct upload to imgur.
I know others have recommended snip & sketch. I'd take a look at Greenshot if you need something a bit more feature rich. You can save snips directly with datestamps which are handy but also edit and annotate where needed.
I work in application support so very similar requirements; I need to quickly snip screenshots and it works really well.
Just a reminder that Autodesk Screencast is either installed or linked to from the File > Share menu (forget if it is installed by default), and will capture what commands/keystrokes you are using in addition to allowing narration and basic editing.
For me this is usually overkill so I just use a simple GIF screen recorder, like the... interestingly named LICEcap.
For screenshots, there are great tools already built into Windows and macOS, but I like to use Greenshot or ShareX.
On Mac:
- CMD-SHIFT-4 - this will present you with a crosshair. You can then click and drag to select the area you would like to capture. Captured screenshots will automatically be saved to the desktop by default.
On Windows:
- Windows is slightly more difficult since this functionality isn't built in, but there are multiple free applications that can be installed that grant this functionality. The most popular ones that I am aware of are Greenshot and Lightshot.
- Once installed either of the applications can be configured to take a screenshot in the same way as you can on a mac. I bind them to the printscreen button - and then all you have to do is press
PrtSc, select the area you wish to screenshot, and save or copy it somewhere. - There's also the built-in snippet tool. Win+shift+s
Once installed these applications will simply run all the time in the background and always provide this functionality.
I hope everyone is keeping thorough track of everything happening with their UI process either through data entry or writing things down on paper. Personally, i've been using a free screen shot software, in case you have trouble logging into connect and you need to reference info quickly. It's called greenshot.
if anyone has any other tools they're using or processes to keep step by step track of their accounts i'd love to hear them.
If you're in Windows, it's a limitation imposed by the OS (for good reason, usually the cursor would just clutter the shot).
IrfanView has cursor capture as a built in feature. I'm sure there are plenty of others (for example, GreenShot, though I can't vouch for it myself).
For a MATLAB-centric solution, see CheeseWheels38's comment. It's a more creative approach. :)
hard to tell with your screen picture not showing the status of the object.
you may want to get a screen shot program like https://getgreenshot.org/
if you make a new plane, is that one visible ?
If you don't have to share the file itself, you can use Greenshot to take a screenshot. Then use it's "obfuscate" feature to blu the data you want to hide.
If you actually have to share the Excel file itself, I would look into the Protection and Locking features in Excel. I haven't tried it, but I think you could lock the cells you want to hide and then make them hidden in the "protection" tab. Details will depend on your version. It's not quite "blurring" but the meet result is similar.
So far it looks like you have a good start. You already have the crystal cruiser so that means you've already went farther than sector 5 at some point?Read through some other posts in this subreddit for tactic information.Jackeea, though crude, is trying to be helpful, though I actually prefer getgreenshot.org.
I have it on Steam for PC, so I understand if you can't take a screenshot on your installation for some reason.
Snipping tool is getting phased out.
Greenshot is pretty great, is Snipping Tool and Paint all in one and has instant upload to imgur. Press prntscr + select area, get a direct link to the image on imgur.
you should get Greenshot to make grabbing screenshots easier. it's got a built in editor so you can mark up images with lines, arrows, numbers, etc. and it can be bound to your print screen button to make things even easier.
I'd suggest Greenshot for all your screenshot taking needs. One of the first tools I install on any machine I work on. The mac version isn't free like the windows version and has less features, but I still think it's 110% worth it.
I would also add greenshot to the list. Best screenshot program I've ever used. It has a basic image editor built in, which is awesome for drawing arrows or obfuscating text.
It looks fine to me,
but I'm sure it'd be easier for you to use PrintScreen key -
it takes a screenshot and puts it in the buffer.
Or you can also use some software,
like Greenshot (https://getgreenshot.org),
it's realy convenient and can even take snaps of fullscreen applications.
I hope you find these useful :)
Link: Greenshot
At installation, you are given a list of optional plugins. Just make sure you select the Imgur plugin. Then when you take a screenshot, you can have it auto-upload to Imgur and the link is put on your clipboard. You then just paste it.
Greenshot. Free, great tools, perfect for outputting documentation screenshots. Has an option to insert your screenshot into an open Word doc at the cursor. I have deployed this to everyone in my organization and love it.
Sounds like he/she should pay a bit more attention to real life xP
Also, some tips for better screenshots:
Alt+Print Screen -> Open Reddit -> Ctrl+V
Alternatively you can use:
Great post! Also, in an effort to help with quality on the sub try using these to take better screenshots :)
Alt+Print Screen -> Open Reddit -> Ctrl+V
Alternatively you can use:
Alt+Print Screen -> Open Reddit -> Ctrl+V
Alternatively you can use:
- 'Snip Tool' (Windows - All Versions)
- Win+Shift+S (Windows 10)
- LightShot (Windows + Mac)
- [GreenShot)(https://getgreenshot.org) (Windows + Mac)
- ShareX (Windows)
This is why I went through the effort of deploying Greenshot to all the systems and teaching our people how to use it. Made things a lot easier going forward after that since the program takes over the Printscreen key.
You should check out Greenshot. It has a very simple interface, and replaces the standard print screen button by giving you a box to draw around what you want a screenshot of. After doing so it then gives you options like saving to a specific location, opening in MSpaint, using their editor, or uploading to imgur.
Greenshot is extremely great with the integrated hosting modules it makes it really easy to grab something and automatically copy the URL to the clipboard (one button press one click)
Adding on from this comment, there is a tool called greeshot (https://getgreenshot.org/) that is like a more advanced snipping tool (and has saved me bags of time). It provides guides so you can more accurately take a screenshot, it brings up a context menu when you've taken it to ask where you want to save it (e.g. Your clipboard, hard drive, social media) and it has a simple editor that you can use for resizing, drawing shapes and arrows etc all without saving the image.
this has bugged me as well.
​
https://getgreenshot.org/faq/how-remove-plugins-or-destinations-from-greenshot/
​
tl;dr - edit your ini file while greenshot is not running, go to the ExcludeDestinations line, and _add_ items you want to *remove*, separated by commas.
​
for future reference and to add some google search keywords, this is how you remove (or hide) items from the screenshot menu, or how you customize the screenshot menu in greenshot.
Greenshot?
Press PrintScreen and it will allow you to select where you want to screenshot
You can Ctrl + PrntScreen and it will take a screenshot of the whole screen.
Afterwards there is a dialogue which allows you to save as, save directly, upload to imgur directly.
You can download it from here: https://getgreenshot.org/
Here's a great, free screenshot tool for those that are interested.
Press PrtScn key to select an area of the screen or CTRL+Prtscn to capture the whole screen, after you take a screenshot it will give you option to save the image or open it in an editor.

You'll find that almost no one actually uses Authorization as described in HTTP spec, reason being that the bigger players send a ton of data with username and password so they'd probably exceed the limits of headers had they tried to transfer all that data not using the message body. Facebook, for example, sends mouse coordinates and what not to track you.
Not open source but windows snipping tool does this an so does their new on. Most open source ones have this feature inbuilt.
​
I think Greenshot doesn't if you choose 'custom installation' during set up an remove all the rubbish add-ons but I could be wrong been a while since I've used it..
I had to download some apps to bridge the gap coming from Mac to PC (Surface Pro 5 running Win10.)
Greenshot for CMD+CTRL+SHIFT+4 screenshot portion of screen capture to clipboard (I use ALT+SHIFT+4 now.)
Wox for quick search/spotlight CMD+Space replacement. Now it's ALT+SPACE and pulls up a quick searchbar for quick launching applications without having to deal with the Win 10 search bar/apps launcher.
There were some other keyboard shortcuts I really got the hang of just flying around the operating system that I don't really feel like re-learning the Windows versions of but overall I'm okay without those things. If I don't remember them, they probably weren't that important.
Overall, my 2012 fully specced out MacBook Pro felt faster (with that dedicated mobile graphics card) than this 2017 fully specced out Surface Pro 5 which is insane to me. As soon as I'm using multiple programs and streaming youtube/twitch in the background, things get sluggish. Really wish I had my dedicated graphics card back but.. this is what work gave me.
Here's how I would do the "to be continued" screen:
Download Greenshot (or something like it) - configure the Output settings to save to a file named something like screenshot.jpg in the directory of your choosing. Do not use any dynamic variables in the name since you always want it to overwrite the last file.
1) create a new scene in OBS that has the "to be continued" graphic on the top layer. Assign a hot-key to it.
2) add an image layer, point it to the filename you used in Greenshot. Set to refresh when scene is loaded.
3) create a macro that will first create a screenshot (alt-prtscrn) then switch to the scene (using the hotkey from step 1.) Alternatively you could just manually hit alt-prtscrn to create the screenshot, then manually switch to the scene. The key is to
​
I haven't tried all the steps, but this should work. Greenshot will create the screenshot and save it to the configured file without any sort of prompts..
screenshots are easier and faster qualitiy in almost every scenario on a PC. i use Greenshot as its pretty simple to get set up and havent had any issues with downtime with it
Late to the party, but Greenshot
Infinitely better at taking screenshots than the windows snipping tool.
You can upload directly to imgur, flickr, dropbox, or send it to gimp or the built-in image editor to adjust the screenshot.
Best screen capture tool I have found: https://getgreenshot.org/
It got a lot of features. The only one I miss is possability to send it straight to Evernote, creating a new note.
But the feature to open a screen shot directly to MS Paint is great.
Greenshot
Greenshot is a light-weight screenshot software tool for Windows with the following key features:
Quickly create screenshots of a selected region, window or fullscreen; you can even capture complete (scrolling) web pages from Internet Explorer. Easily annotate, highlight or obfuscate parts of the screenshot. Export the screenshot in various ways: save to file, send to printer, copy to clipboard, attach to e-mail, send Office programs or upload to photo sites like Flickr or Picasa, and others.
Advanced task manager replacement = Process Explorer
Better Snipping Tool replacement (activates when pressing PrintScreen button or other hotkey) = Greenshot
And I'm not sure if "terminal" is different than the command line, but you can paste into cmd on win7 by right-clicking.
