Screen Capture Software: Greenshot

Whether we like it our not, documentation is part of the job. And good documentation is worth it's weight in gold.

When I'm putting together guides for end users, I find screen shots indispensable. Of course, Snagit is the king. But half the time I'm on a client laptop and don't have Snagit.

A little google search turned up Greenshot, a nice open source option. It's a little bare bones (it doesn't have that cool sawtooth edge), but it's got pretty much everything you need.
