what are you guys using to capture screens/draw on charts?

Tech Analysis,

Then I'd have to print it out and scan it!

DOh. Why didn't i think of that instead of fiddling around with all that fancy software

any suggestions?

thanks

have you try to click studio button in snagit to do all you describer above and then re-snage the just edited pic

nkhoi,

yeah, thanks. i was using an old version of snagit that i got years ago. it doesn't have all this extra stuff. i downloaded the new version.

If I remember correctly, Paintshop Pro version 4 was free to download and pretty easy to use.

try www.hardcopy.de

Very nice and useful program for screen or individual window capturing.

I use Paint in Windows to draw what I need to publish ,

For capture only irfan is about the
best you can get for free. It is very
fast.

It also excels at batch converting images.

It does not draw. So you need
something like MS Paint to do that.

I think Snagit does the best job. If you don't want to pay for the software try SWBCAP.
