Screen Capture Programs

[MattNJ]

What are the best screen capture programs out there? I use Bandicam, which is great, but it only takes huge high definition screenshots. Also, on another note, are there any programs out there to edit photos and downsize them?

Photoshop mainly, you could also try GIMP among others.

To capture a screenshot, hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard.

For simple and quick editing, use Irfan View.

My quickest way :
Click(Press) Impr Prt Scr ( or Prt Scr ) on your keyboard,
go to www.snag.gy and press Ctrl + V , voila you have it directly online and you can crop it

You mean in video or as a still image?

For video: Google OBS; open broadcaster software
For still image: Prt Scr hotkey on your keyboard, it can be accessed via Control+V

Also, on another note, are there any programs out there to edit photos and downsize them?

MS (microsoft) Paint, Paint.net, GIMP, Adobe PS. Adobe Photoshop is the best, you can get it for very cheap if you know how to

Also a tip: When you downscale the image, do it via lowering the resolution, the dimensions should drop with it too.

I Use Paint.net to downsize (compress) pictures. It is free and easy to use.

-the printscreen button on your keyboard or Gyazo if you only want a selected part of the screen.

Paint for downsizing, photoshop for photo editing. (use gimp if you don't want to crack photoshop)

Let's see how many other people will write the same thing.

Fraps and Steam work pretty good for me.

I agree on you niqqa.

Use Lightshot + Paint.Net or Photoshop CS6 or Below or Above.

I use Razer Game Booster and Frap for screencapture my game (or make montage)

 

[Karassu]

I use Fraps 'cause I remember that I saw somethin' sayin' like Fraps is the best game recorder, BUT note that Fraps cannot record the desktop, or any application that isn't on full screen mode. It's fast yeah.

 

[Idaero Ace]

Frap is not the best. I just tried d3dgear, got trial for a week. It has better quality with lower size. And also did not eat too much performance

With windows 8 you can use windows key + prnt screen to make an instant screen capture to your pictures directory.(Probably not relevant to you though in particular)

I use Irfan all the time as it's light, can open a lot of file formats and a quick solution to cropping/quick saving with a compact file size.

Yeh for screen capturing with video I use this(Fraps can't be used with Windows 8 so idk what it's like), although if your having trouble I suggest to look up a tutorial.

Although for settings on one thing for the program I suggest you change the max bitrake (kb/s) to about 4,000(/3,500) for quality game recording (I use a 1920x1080 res).

Btw guys is there any image viewer software for Windows without the borders?
I've seen people use some sort of sorftware on mac but I don't know where to find it for PC.

Fraps videos are very costy and lag very much upon initiating.

For resizing, you can use any photo editing tool, seriously. Even Paint can do it, though harder than any version of PhotoShop.

 

[BloodDrunk]

Bandicam is the best.
I have full version, contact me if you want
