It's true: If you take a picture, it will last longer. With
EasyCapture, you can take a screenshot in a variety of sizes and
formats. This free program's tabbed interface adds a few nice extra
features, too.
Taking screenshots with EasyCapture is simple. You click the button
or select the menu item for the area type (full screen, region,
window, etc.) you want to capture, move the cursor to select the
area, and click. Thanks to a tabbed interface, you can take several
screenshots in short order and deal with each at your leisure.
The small selection of graphics tools lets you perform simple tasks
such as adjusting brightness and contrast; converting to grayscale;
flipping or rotating the image; and adding text and simple included
graphics such as lines, arrows, and word balloons. You can save
your work as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, and TIFF files.
If you're a graphics professional, you'll probably need to buy a
program that can save a wider array of file formats. But if you're
just an average Jo/e who wants to nab a screenshot, EasyCapture
will probably suffice--and you can't beat the price.

Strengths: Captured a partial screen quickly and save options allowed several formats. It seems to be free as advertised ... on the first day anyway.
Weaknesses: Took about 3 minutes to figure out how to capture a partial screen. Not bad.
Overall Evaluation: It works and it's free.

Strengths: Being able to edit the capture is a great idea, if it worked.
Weaknesses: Difficult to use. You need to open the program in order to do a capture. A lot of the markups do not work. There are frequent "illegal operations".
Overall Evaluation: I was looking for a capture program that I can add annotations to. Some of them worked, but not all. I wasn't able to fiqure out the text within a ballon. The help was of no use. The program would periodically "need to close". I would not recommend this at this time. The idea behind it is great though.
