Gadwin PrintScreen 4.3

Publisher's description of Gadwin PrintScreen

view larger

Gadwin PrintScreen allows much more flexibility with that Print Screen button at the top of your keyboard. Usually when you hit the Print Screen button it loads the current screen into your clipboard. To save the image you have to open up an image-editing application, paste it, then save the file. Gadwin's free PrintScreen streamlines this whole process. It sits in your System Tray, and you can set a number of options. When you hit print screen (or whichever button you specify), you can choose to save the screen directly to a specific folder. You can also choose to save just a window, or a specific area of the screen. The application also gives you the option of sending the screen capture directly to your printer or as an email, and it will even automatically resize the picture to specified dimensions. You can select the type of image you want to save.

Version 4.3 enhances multimonitor support, improves Windows Vista compatibility, and date/time stamp feature.

Editor's review of Gadwin PrintScreen

Excellent screen capture apps aren't hard to come by, but excellent free ones are. With sophisticated features at no cost, it's hard to reach higher than Gadwin PrintScreen. An attractive, easily navigated interface opens up a customization wonderland for users to decide default settings for shortcut key associations, capture preferences, and output.

For our purposes, the clicking and dragging regions is the clear choice. Misjudge your region's dimensions and Gadwin PrintScreen lets you readjust them without having to start over, something many commercial competitors don't do. Setting the app to automatically open each screen capture in your favorite viewer or editor makes up for the program's lack of built-in image editor, still achieving a seamless screen capture experience from start to finish that grabs and delivers shots just where you want them.

  Very handy

  by: Jim Harmon on 03-Nov-2007 08:16:14 PM

  Pros: This program is very easy to use. I like the fact that it autoloads at startup.

  Cons: Unless I've missed a setting somewhere, this saves as BMP.

  Print Screen v4.3

  by: MyView_07 on 16-Apr-2008 01:24:01 AM

  Pros: Very nice free app that give more options to your Print Screen key command. Stable, easy to customize and very useful for selecting all or sections of the screen and saving to choice image format.

  Cons: A scroll capture would make this app complete, however, I thank you for this free app.

  This is just what I have longed for - and it's free - perfection!

  by: lilaclily on 22-Aug-2007 11:22:38 AM

  Pros: I have tried to alter settings on my printers' software in the past, wanting to be able to print a set area, or page, without all the rest having to be included. Now I have exactly what I wanted, in one very small and easy to use program. It doesn't only work for printing, but also if you simply want to save an article or similar. Great software!
