  I use Snipping Tool because it’s light and fast, everything that I’m not.

    Install greenshot. It’s a FOSS tool that let’s you click and drag a box around the area. It also let’s you save multiple outputs, so you can auto upload a screenshot to dropbox/etc while also letting you paste locally. You can customize how file names are generated, on and on. Completly free.

    Mine is setup to always save a copy of a screenshot to a folder that is date stamped, but also saves to my clipboard, so I can paste it anywhere.

      ShareX can also do this. Snipping tool is fairly quick to use, though. Just WIN+SHIFT+S on Windows

      Everyone always brings up Greenshot every time someone else mentions Snipping Tool. I know the language in which Greenshot was written and I know about the efficiency issues. I just like having a lightweight program that fires at the press of a hotkey, and dumps straight to the clipboard. Thanks for the suggestion, but I didn’t ask for a replacement for Snipping Tool.

    Ad Ditto (clipboard manager that can sync between machines) and your life wol never be the same. I’ve been using it since about 2006.

  As a non-scientist, previously working in broadcast television for over a decade, this hurts me, even more knowing this is destined for print. Surely your software can export those as proper, higher-resolution image files!

  This hurts me as much as when I caught a young reporter, fresh out of university, making a basic graphic in Photoshop and instead of exporting the finished product, she took a screenshot and pasted it into Premiere. I stopped her, showed her how to do it the correct way, and the way she thanked me left it pretty clear she was going to continue with her wrong way once I left.

  If on windows 10 (possibly 11), you can Windows key + Shift + S to “freeze” the screen so you can draw a rectangle to copy only a portion of the screen

  You can turn off PowerPoint’s image compression as well.
