I usually use MS Paint for the large canvas and copypaste the edited pictures from the Greenshot. You can resize the canvas, but I haven’t found a cut or selection tool to move the background picture. I cannot easily combine multiple pictures. Only one comes to mind over the years of using the tool. You can also set it up to save to a default folder so you never lose a screenshot. I usually open it in the editor and copy it to the clipboard (so I can paste it into Teams or Slack). Again, Greenshot has got your back with several options. Unless you want the picture idling on your computer, you’ll probably want to share it. As an example, we took a screenshot of an Explorer window using the Alt + Prnt Scrn hotkey. Using this menu, you can take different types of screenshots, open an image in the Greenshot editor, set Preferences, and perform several other useful tasks. However don’t forget to test for the hidden settings with the Right-click. Right-click on the Greenshot icon in the system tray to access the Greenshot menu. The hotkeys for these tools are intuitive and can be easily discovered from the sidebar.

Shapes - like you would expect in any editor.

Implies there would be more data that didn’t fit the screen. You have to right-click the tool and select which edge you want to be torn.

Magnify - the selected area is zoomed over surrounding text.

Greyscale - everything but the area is turned grey.

Highlight area - everything but the area is out of focus.

You can pick a pixel size and hide sensitive data. I wish I could make it squiggly, but alas.

Text along with the typical text settings.

You can choose whether you want the pointer at the start, end, both or none. Sadly you can have only one counter per image. Very useful if you want to point out the order of operations or refer to them in text like here.

The green bubbles with numbers in them are called counters.

So after creating them, you can switch to the selection tool and move them around or transform them, unlike MS Paint, where you have to undo and try again. The great thing about all of those is that they are objects. Here’s an example showcasing my favourite options. Usually, it has some text, highlights, arrows, etc. It also helps capture the SSMS Grid results or Execution plans when you can rerun the query and capture the same region. With this, you will move the mouse and grab the last location again. For example, sometimes, you take the perfect size screenshot only to notice you accidentally captured a bit of a tooltip. The Capture region option comes with a handy zoom and reticle that helps with precise pixel selection. Everyone knows to use the Print Screen button to take a screenshot of the whole screen or, along with the Alt modifier, just the current window. None of the tools I’ve tried over the years was as good as Greenshot ( download), and here’s why. I use screenshots daily, whether it’s to share results, how-to tutorials, point out mistakes or create memes.

Feel free to contact Dropbox support about this.A picture is worth a thousand words. Many people are confused by this, so obviously Dropbox does not make its changes to the system configuration transparent enough. For this reasons, it registers the PrntScreen key and Greenshot is no longer notified when you hit the key. Newer versions of Dropbox come with a feature that copies screenshots to your Dropbox account.

This could basically be any software that considers itself good for handling screenshots, but in most of the cases we hear of, the problem is caused by Microsoft OneDrive or Dropbox.Īre you using OneDrive? Look for "Auto save" in OneDrive's settings dialog and uncheck the "Automatically save screenshot." option and you should be fine.Īre you using Dropbox? Several users reported similar problems after installing Dropbox or updating it. Most probably, this is due to other software reserving the PrntScreen key. My PrntScreen key no longer works with Greenshot.
