I've been using Vista for almost a month and liked the feature of Snipshots

(not sure of the name) to take customized screen shoots, but (probably, I

will get flamed for this) in MacOSX Tiger besides the application for taking

screenshots there is also a key shortcut to take a customized screenshot and

automatically convert that image into a jpeg or tiff without user

intervention, you simply select with the cursor the zone you want to snap in

and when you finish select it automaticaly appeas in the desktop the file of

that jpeg.

 

Is there a similar way in vista to take snapshots?

    Snagit 8 is far superior to the Vista built in and is Vista certified, not

    free but much better.

    I don't believe there is. Snipshots (I forget the name too :-)) and

    PrintScrn (and Alt+PrintScrn for window specific shot) are the only native

    ways to take a screenshot in Vista. As also suggested, there are many other

    applications that can take screenshots and are more customizable.

     

    And to yout macosx comment (here we go :-P), if MS had develped a "great"

    screenshot app, then 3rd party companies like the suggested would run crying

    to the government over anti-trust (its the IE/Netscape and WMP/Real fight

    all over again). Apple does not have this issue since not many can be

    bothered to develop for it (also since their market share is so small).

    Apple seems to be exempt from all hardware and software problems that MS is

    constantly hounded about, which is only because Apple chooses what happens

    and nobody complains. Wouldn't it be fun to watch AMD fire up if Microsoft

    said, "we're going to only use Intel CPUs"? Apple on the other hand, get

    away with it.

     

    Whoops, sorry for my rant :-) Have a nice day :-)

    Grab a copy of the free IrfanView.

    It does a great job taking screenshots.

    No No No

     

    No - he means something for VISTA. Maybe you and Alias are related?

    I wrote a program "like" this, not this :p

     

    Anyway, looks like kde 4 will be compiled for windows, so you will be able

    to use a perfect desktop in your pour system.

     

    I really don't understand the op, if he knows MacOs, what does he want with

    Myopic Vista?
