Recommendation for Screenshot App - ShareX

I had to redo my PC recently and I was using Greenshot before which is not being developed anymore. So I figured what the heck I will look for something new. Found this ShareX and it is awesome if you take a lot of screenshots. It is geared for auto uploading to Imgur and getting the link. That in itself would be great if I needed that. Really what I wanted is press a button, draw a box, screenshot, then send me to an app to draw on it. It has this all built in. With a little bit of config changes I hid / disabled all the uploading stuff and have it pop up a menu after screenshots, I can either copy to clipboard or send it to the annotation tool (then copy from there).

I also changed the key mapping so the Print Screen button does my most used function which is the option to draw a box and snip.

I do like SnagIT, but it does require purchasing the software or I think there is also an annual subscription you can arrange.

Which can then be mapped to the print screen button

You can upload the image to my website as well https://im.ge instead of imgur :slight_smile:

Which is why I like this app, you can screenshot and drop it right into its built in annotation app that has the perfect tools on it.

That is a good trick, I didn't know about that setting.

I've been using Greenshot for quite a while and like it.
I DO like trying new software....and ShareX is pretty cool!
It will even OCR something you capture ..WOW
It took me a while to find how to change color of an arrow or thickness in the editor...

You gotta have a print screen button for that to be handy :laughing:
