However, the editor does lack a crop and resize feature. I even liked how easy it was to add and delete elements. The editor was great for adding objects and textboxes. Images can be sent to the clipboard or to a printer. Greenshot comes with an image editor and can save images in several different formats. Many times images need to be a specific size and often I need to capture the image or portions of and then use an editor to get the right screenshot. This made it easy to know that I was within my allotted space. The screen captures are really good, I particularly like that the 'capture region' tool highlighted the capture region and displayed the dimensions (in large numbers) for me as I was trying to capture an image. So to me a tool like Snagit is essential to my work, I recently came across an Open Source alternative to Snagit, a software project called Greenshot. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and a screenshot certainly saves me pages of explanation or in some cases re-explanation. Being a writer I cannot think of any tool more important to me than a screenshot tool. Keeping with the theme I started last week, I thought I would look at another Open Source alternative to a popular commercial software package.
