Marktüberblick über empfehlenswerte Tools zum Erstellen von Bildschirmfotos (engl. Screen Captures, Screenshots oder Screen Dumps). Screenshots werden in allen Formen von Software-Dokumentation benötigt, z.B. für Handbücher, Online-Hilfen, interaktive Demos und Tutorials, sowie auf Webseiten und in Broschüren.
Tipp: Siehe auch die Checkliste unter Auswahl eines Screen Capture Tools.
 Hinweis:
Dieses Thema richtet sich an ein internationales Publikum und wurde daher in englischer Sprache verfasst. Wir bitten um Verständnis.
SnagIt

FullShot
A special feature of FullShot is the additional buttons that the tool adds to each window in runtime. Instead of a shortcut key you can simply activate the relevant button, for example, “W” for “Window” or “R” for “Region”, and FullShot creates the desired image. On the final screen captures, FullShot of course automatically removes the additional buttons.
Advantages: images can be updated later, added texts are retained and can be edited; highly efficient functions for capturing menus and command bars; wide range of settings for effects; good documentation
Disadvantages: comparatively high price; not quite as intuitive to use as SnagIt; in the Standard Edition some of the important functions for comments and post-editing are missing
Price: approx. $90 (Professional Edition) and $50 (Standard Edition)

MadCap Capture
Focuses especially on the requirements of technical documentation and single source publishing. Supports text variables. Users of the authoring system Flare (developed by the same company) can save images automatically in an online version and in a print version. The online version, for example, can be in color, the print version in gray scales. Also the resolution of both versions can be different.
Advantages: images remain fully editable, irrespective of their format; elements can be saved to palettes and reused; the design of several elements can be standardized comfortably; stepwise undo list.
Disadvantages: takes very long to load (requires Microsoft .NET Framework); rather complex to use for infrequent users
Price: approx. $39

Finally, if you only need to take a limited number of screen captures, there’s also the option to capture them manually. On Windows: Using the [PrintScreen] key, you can copy the currently displayed screen contents to the clipboard. Using the key-combination [Alt]+[PrintScreen], you can copy the contents of the active window. Then, you can directly paste the clipboard contents into any document or graphics editor.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 make the procedure even simpler. The build-in Snipping Tool (usually located within the Accessories group) allows you to instantly save basic screen captures as a file. However, if you want to apply any special effects such as a torn edge, or if you want to add some callouts, for example, you’ll have to use some general-purpose graphics software to do so manually.
On the Mac, OS X also provides a number of build-in options to capture both entire screens and specific regions. [CMD]+[Shift]+[3] saves the whole screen, [CMD]+[Shift]+[4] saves a selected region, and [CMD]+[Shift]+[4] then [Spacebar] saves a selected item to the desktop. Note: Holding down the [CTRL] key in addition saves to the clipboard instead of to the desktop.
OS X also comes with a basic Grab utility located in Applications > Utilities.
