Screen Capture Flip-Flop

I seem to keep flip-flopping around on my screen capture programs. I would like to simply draw a box on the screen, grab it, then annotate, re-size if necessary, upload to a free server and grab the link. Is this asking too much?

I'm back to TPUCapture from TechPowerUp. No I can not annotate or re-size but I can do everything else. It leaves a little watermark in the lower right corner but they deserve it for making a great little free program/service. I quit it a few versions back because it didn't work well with Win7 (or maybe it was just time to flip-flop) but it works well again.

If you need to annotate use Snipping Tool first then use TPU to grab the annotated clip. I loved FastStone for this but the free version became squirrely in Win7.

TPUCapture downloads with an installer but dropping the installer on Universal Extractor gives you the folder and TPU runs fine as an executable. Wow! LegRoom is being tagged as malicious by Firefox? What's up with that. I wouldn't worry about it.

So until my next flip-flop ... I'm trying to warm up to FireShot but it is clunky and limited to browser shots.

To make this even more long winded. I tried the old free FastStone Capture again (part of my Liberkey Suite) and it worked fine. It is a far better annotator than the Snipping Tool. FS can even re-size. So I have gone full circle.

In Chrome Awesome Screenshot Capture works well for browser captures.
