If you use your computer regularly, chances are you’ll need to create screenshots.  Screenshot tools are a regular part of my daily workflow since I write technology articles.  I mainly use them to demonstrate programs and settings, but screenshots are also a great way to show or save what you see on your screen right now.  Whether you’ve uncovered a bug in a program or want to keep a record of a recent online purchase, screenshots are the best and often only way to record this information.
