Download of the Day: Snippy

Use free Snippy (Windows) to copy a part of your screen. Instead of grabbing the entire screen or window like the print-screen key does, Snippy just grabs the freeform section you specify with a marker. For a rectangular selection hold down the shift key while dragging the marker across a portion of the screen.

Snippy resides in your tray, just click on it to activate or press the hotkey you specify. Then right click on the scissors icon and Save As without having to open the image. You can save the image in different formats.
