All the way around, this is a great application. But it doesn't capture all 3 screens on my multi-monitor display when capturing "fullscreen".

I just tried Gadwin PrintScreen and love it. The interface could have some more options but it's fast, easy to configure, and takes a screen shot without lag. I have ... now moved on to this. Excellent job to the creators!

Maybe I'm missing it, but it looks like we can only define one hotkey for everything. I changed my area of screenshot regularly; be it full screen, region, or active windows. It would be a pin having to open Gadwin main interface just to change this settings, since we can't assign multiple hotkeys

Gadwin PrintScreen is a slick working and very reliable program. It is easy to use and setup. It's a great screen capture utility. I would love to see GadWin add the ellipse (selection tool) to their already great screen capture / printscreen program.

Doesn't support overlay (video), therefore it's just another snapshot program, most free image viewers can do the same. There are also other problems, so it's completely useless for me.

This app is okay, but an old freeware program called PrintKey2000 is still my favorite for all-around features which allows for cropping, etc., before saving a graphic.

Awesome software program to have on anyone's pc. It work like a dream and very well on most windows platform pc. It's very easy enough to capture your whole desktop with one click. Then it automatically export the image to whatever graphic manipulation program you chosen to edit it with.

I love this little program. I've been using it for a couple of years along with PhotoFiltre and a couple of other downloads. Works great!

This is an easy-to-use, but still highly customizable utility. It may not have all the bells and whistles of some of its bigger brothers, but that's the beauty of it. It is small, fast, and does exactly what you want a screen-capture utility to do. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to grab images off of the monitor.

It doesn't capture the active window, it captures whatever the mouse is on. I want it to capture the mouse pointing at something in the window and it capture only part of the active window. That is a critical problem for me, tool is practically useless to me.

I liked this single program so much that I created an account here just to write a review. The author of this software really deserves credit. You can't ask for more. A very simple interface. Keep in mind that saving a capture in .GIF format is a much small file size than .JPEG format which allows you to e-mail the image easier. I love the idea of choosing the hot key from a wide variety of keys. Comes in handy for those 'no right click' web pages.

This is the best screen capture tool I've tried. It will even capture screens on web pages that block screen capturing, as long as you set it up to use a different key, besides the PRINTSCREEN key. Also love the specified rectangular selection feature. Very handy little tool. Best of all, it's free!

I haven't tried all of the screenshot programs out there, so it wouldn't be fair of me to say this is the best. But I have tried a few, and This is the best of the programs I have tried. I like the fact that you can preview the screenshot before you save it. I also like the feature of adding a drop shadow to the screenshot, I haven't used it, and I don't think I ever will, but It's a great feature to have. Another thing I appreciate is that this isn't a 'lite' version, promoting a commercial version. There are many more features, you can automatically direct the screenshot to email, file, windows clipboard, or printer. Very good features, especially for a 100% free program. I highly recommend this program.

THis is just what I was looking for, and it does the AUTO SAVE. This makes me happy. I don t know how it s going to function when I use it during my game, but we will find out.
