What is the best screen grab tool for creating images of the ArchiCAD screen that I can easily add to posts on this forum?

I am currently using Acrobat but I have to reduce the image size and pixel count in Photoshop before I can add the image to my posts on this forum.

Thank you,
John

Greenshot is completely open source and free, and it can capture, annotate, etc. http://getgreenshot.org/

Thanks for the Greenshot link Dennis. Will give it a whirl.

I usually use PrintScreen and paste into IrfanView where I can do some basic annotation if required.

I use Skitch http://skitch.com/ It's free and as far as I can tell does everything SnagIt does except allow multiple images in a single file--though it appears that is coming in a future version. If SnagIt does things I'm not aware I'd be interested in knowing. Maybe I need it and don't know it.

I don't know Skitch. I'll have to take a look at it. What I like most about SnagIt is that I can immediately markup and email the screen shot in the built-in editor, and it automatically saves the files.

Yup. Does all that. And it's vector based.
