I found this lovely little program called WinSnap. It is a small utility for Windows PCs that lets you take and edit screenshots with ease. Needless to say, its way better than the standard Windows Print Screen. You can change colour settings, apply shadows, contour and watermark to all your captured screens. It also lets you rotate and scale the images. You can take various types of screenshots with it including full screen, windows, client area, application, popup menus and regions. The only thing thats missing is the ability to capture scrolling web pages. If you desperately need that functionality, you’ll need to get SnagIt which is without a doubt the best screenshot utility available currently. However, be ready to shell out $39.95 if you decide to go for it. If you can live with a few missing features, WinSnap is a recommended download. What’s more its completely FREE for personal, educational and non-commercial use!
Some of the feature of this utility are as under (copied from official website):
- Easy makes screenshots of windows with rounded corners
- WinSnap saves info about window form and adds real smoothing shadows!
- Unique “Application” mode allows you to capture all visible windows of the foreground application with one click.
- Basic coloring effects and canvas transformations.
- Advanced auto-save and auto-copy options.
- Usual keyboard and mouse control (Print Screen replacement).
- Make all this work with one 100-kb application - smaller than Paint!

Since this article, the author of WinSnap has come up with a new version of the program, v2.0 which is now a shareware. The older version v1.x is still available as a freeware for non-commercial use. The shareware version of the program costs $19.95, $44.95 and $450 for Personal (1 user), Family (5 users) and Site Licence (100 users) respectively.
The new version has been developed specifically for use with Windows Vista and includes features such as - Aero Glass capturing with shadows and transparencies, Alpha-Channel and PNG transparency support, Unique Multi-Object capture mode, Configurable External Tools, Fixed-Size Region capture, New file auto-naming options and Quick-Print shortcut key. A portable version of the utility, which can run from removable drives, is also available for licensed users.
