Screenshot taking program?

Some time ago (2-3 months) someone posted about a program which could take screenshots only for the window area that you selected. You could drag the area for which you wanted the screenshot, and it would show the output immediately. It was a freeware program, with an icon of scissors.
I reinstalled windows and forgot to back it up
Thanks for the help.

Oh yeah, that's the one! Turns out it comes with Windows 7. I learned something new today, thanks!

you can also take screenshots and then edit them with mspaint by just selcting parts that you are interested in showing.

SnagIt costs $50. He said it was a freeware.. you must've not read that part.

Trust me, it is snippy... takes screenshots and the icon is scissors. I found that the snipping tool in win7 works just as well, though the highlight and drawing features are a little weak.

CPU, I found that way to be way more cumbersome, prntscn then paste in paint then cut what you want out and repaste in new... if you dont have win7 id suggest trying snippy.

I use that snipping tool too (windows 7 sucks less). Use another program with it to upload the image - like snipto.net

Waiting for the gdp then bernanke to kill the $dxy again...

and if you haven't upgraded to Windows 7 yet, Vista has what they call the "Snipping Tool" that allows you to draw a box around anything on your screen and save it as a picture
