How to take screenshots

[Jan]

One soft that i do enjoy very much is FRAPS, mostly for it's FPS displaying and video recording functions, it's also an useful Screen Capture Software:

Take a screenshot with the press of a key! There's no need to paste into a paint program every time you want a new shot. Your screen captures are automatically named and timestamped.

Several others tools do it too but after trying them i do prefer Fraps because it do everything behind the scene so one can take several screenshots in a row without any problems (for example, i took screenshots of the whole CMAK bestiary in a row without a single Alt-Tab).

By the way, FRAPS is a payware ($37) and only the BMP format is available in the freeware version (BMP, TGA, JPEG, and PNG in the full version).

If one know a free tool as capable than Fraps, I'll be the first to applaud
