FastStone Capture 5: beta preview of a highly-rated tool

December 20, 2006 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab_105 There are a few small tools that should be kept on your system and wheeled out on the odd occasion that you need to use them. A decent screen-grabbing tool is a good example. Once these tools were all commercial or shareware and you had to pay decent money to take a grab of your workspace. Now tools such as the fantastic 5-star rated Screenshot Captor 2.28.06 are free and updated regularly.

FastStone Capture 5 was recently released as a preview and is another good and free screen-grabbing tool. The new version ships with a much improved and more simplistic interface, enabling you to leave it running at all times (when you're wanting to take multiple screengrabs). You can also add effects to your grabs to make them more visually appealing. Take a look and download FastStone Capture 5 beta yourself.
