# Excuse the TJ...
Can anyone recomend any good freebie screen grabbers?

Preferably something that lets you hit a hot key, define an area of screen you want, then save it as a jpg.

# Yeah
but a bit more versatile.

I want hassle free jpg output from a specific region of the screen, without mucking about with mspaint or a.n.other editing package.

# alt+printscreen?
I think irfanview had some kind of auto-screen grabber thing, but I haven't used it in years so don't rely on me.

# Command Shift 4 - on the mac
gives you a selective screen grab if that helps

# I've just downloaded a freeware tool
called 'Cropper', from here:

www.codeplex.com/cropper/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=2231

seems to do just what you're asking. I've only played with it for a bit but it seems to works fine.

Installing a new OS would be a tad ott for a quick screen grab.
