I love me some Skitch, and I use Jing on the PC. Jing takes a while to load and can be a memory hog when it’s loaded, and then there’s that creepy orb staring me in the face. What if I want to take a quick screenshot (using the work PC), annotate it and go!
Enter Fireshot. It allows you to take quick screenshots, add the requisite arrows and text and save it as a PNG, JPG, or more. I know Jing is against JPG as a format, but Fireshot embraces it.
Here is a quick one I did a few minutes ago…(click to see bigger version)
I like that it integrates seamlessly with Firefox, adding a Superman-esque S in the top right corner of the browser window. There’s no Flickr integration like Skitch, but it’s an easy upload anyway.
Way to go Fireshot! I’ll be keeping this one around.
Now that is really cool – I can see many applications for this when during workshops and professional development.
thank you for posting this.
Thanks for that. As a PC user this is just what I need.
Thanks for the link. As a PC user this is just what I have been looking for and best of all it integrates into Firefox.
You can also try superscreenshot.com for taking screenshots of web sites.
