Snag It has been a favorite among bloggers for taking screen shots. One problem with Snag-It is when you take screen-shots of a Window which is semi-trasnparent with rounded corners thanks to Aero; the results are not as good as you might want them to be. I came across 7Capture a screen capture software which deals with semi-transparent windows with rounded corners in a much more appreciable way.
Here is an image below of the same window screen-shot taken with Snag-It and 7Capture.
About 7 Capture
- You can download 7Capture from here.
- It works fine with Windows 7, Vista and XP. It is meant only for Windows platform. It us mainly useful for rounded corners and neutralizing transparency in a Window. So I don’t think it is much use of people without Aero features.
- I compared 7Captrue with Snag It for the corners; 7Capture is not a great image editing tool which Snag-It surely is. Snag-It is a paid software which 7Capture is not; so comparison is unfair.
- The one thing I did not like with 7Capture is it has absolutely no editing features. Which means after you save the file on your computer; you end up using the image with another editor.
Try it out of you want to takes screen-shots which are almost as good as they can be seen on your desktop; let me know what you think about 7Capture.

A better Option : Just place a notepad window behind the window while taking the screen shot. Its done without any software!
This looks promising to capture screen.
i prefer the ScreenHunter 5.1 Free, it’s also a freeware and you can capture anywhere you want.
I use a mix of Zscreen and snagit. What I like about Zscreen is that it perfectly captures vista active windows and adds drop shadow. Here is an example: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4353883928_8d0c778504_o.png
