Even if you may not require one very often, a versatile screen grabbing tool may be useful. For work, you can use it to take grabs of what’s visible on your monitor, and you can then use grabs as a reference tool when working on, or presenting a particular project. Screen grabs are useful in many areas, and some more able tools enable you to take grabs of images, open applications and even text.

HyperSnap DX 6.30.02 is an intelligent utility that not only enables you to grab photos, images, error messages and text but you can also use it to grab sections of editable text. This could come in handy when the standard copy/paste function doesn’t work. It’s easy to use, but still very capable.
