Version 0.8
+
+ You can create a screenshot either by using the Print key on your keyboard
+ or by right clicking the Greenshot icon in the systray.
+ There are several options for creating a screenshot:
+
+ The region capture mode allows you to select a part of you screen to be shot.
+ After starting region mode, you will see a crosshair pointing out the mouse
+ position on the screen. Click and hold where you want one of the corners of your
+ screenshot to be. Still holding down the mouse button, drag the mouse to define
+ the rectangle to be shot. When the green rectangle covers the area you want to
+ be captured in your screenshot, release the mouse button.
+
+ You can use the Space key to switch between region and
+ window mode.
+
+ If you want to capture an exact area, it might be easier to select the initial
+ screenshot area slightly larger and to crop the screenshot
+ afterwards using Greenshot's image editor.
+
+ If you did a region or window capture
+ before, you can capture the same region again using this option.
+
+ Creates a screenshot of the window which is currently active. +
+
+ The settings dialog offers an option not to capture
+ the active window right away, but allowing you to select one interactively.
+ If this option is selected, you may select a window by clicking it (As in
+ region mode, Greenshot will highlight the area
+ that will be captured).
If you want a child window to be captured (e.g. a browser
+ viewport (without toolsbars etc.) or a single frame of a web page using framesets)
+ point the mouse cursor to the window and hit the PgDown key. After
+ doing so, you can select child elements of the window to be captured.
+
+ Capturing context menus on their own is different: using the "Capture window"
+ shortcut would make the context menu disappear, and obviously the same would happen
+ if you used Greenshot's context menu in order to create the screenshot. If you want
+ to capture a context menu you have just brought up by right-clicking anything,
+ simply activate region mode Print, then press the Space key.
+
+ Creates a screenshot of the complete screen. +
+ +
+ Comfortably creates a screenshot of a web page currently opened in Internet Explorer.
+ Use Greenshot's context menu to select the Internet Explorer tab to capture, or hit
+ Crtl + Shift + Print to capture the active tab.
+
+ Greenshot comes with an easy-to-use image editor, providing a handy featureset
+ to add annotations or shapes to a screenshot. It even allows to highlight or
+ obfuscate parts of your screenshot.
+
+ Greenshot's image editor may not only be used for screenshots. You can also
+ open images for editing from a file or from clipboard. Simply right click
+ the Greenshot icon in the systray and select Open image from file
+ or Open image from clipboard, respectively.
+
+ By default, the image editor will be opened whenever a screenshot is
+ captured. If you do not want to use the image editor, you can disable this
+ behavior in the settings dialog.
+
+ Select one of the shape drawing tools from the toolbar on the left hand side
+ of the image editor or from the Object menu. There is also a key assigned
+ to each tool for your convenience.
+ Available shapes are: rectangle R, ellipse E, line L,
+ arrow A and freehand line F.
+ Click, hold down the mouse button and drag to define position and size of the shape.
+ Release the mouse button when you are done.
+
+ You can move or resize existing shapes after selecting the selection tool
+ ESC from the toolbar.
For every element type there is a specific
+ set of options available to change the look of the element (e.g. line thickness,
+ line color, fill color). You can change the options for an existing element after
+ selecting it, but also for the next element to be drawn after selecting a drawing tool.
+
+ You can select multiple elements for editing at a time. In order to select multiple
+ elements, hold down the Shift key while clicking the elements.
+
+ If you want to draw equilateral shapes (e.g. force a rectangle to be a square) hold
+ down Shift while drawing. When drawing lines or arrows, holding down Shift
+ results in the line's angle being rounded in steps 15°.
+ You can also use Shift if you want to resize an existing object maintaining it's aspect ratio.
+
+ When drawing or scaling, you can hold down Ctrl to have the object anchored in
+ it's geometrical middle. I.e. the object is resized in the opposite direction, too. (This
+ is very handy if you want to draw an ellipse around something on your screenshot.)
+
+ Usage of the text tool T is similar to the usage of the
+ shape tools. Just draw the text element to the desired
+ size, then type in the text.
+ Double click an existing text element to edit the text.
+ Hit Return or Enter when you have finished editing.
+
+ If you need to insert line breaks within a text box, hit Shift + Return or
+ Shift + Enter.
+
+ After selecting the highlight tool H, you can define the area to be
+ highlighted exactly like you would draw a shape.
+ There are several options for highlighting, which you can choose from by clicking
+ the leftmost button in the toolbar on top:
+
+ Obfuscating parts of a screenshot is a good idea if it contains data which is not
+ intended for other people to see, e.g. bank account data, names, passwords or faces on images.
+ Use the obfuscate tool O exactly like the highlight
+ tool.
+ Available options for obfuscation are:
+
+ * Depeding on the performance of your computer, applying a blur effect might slow down
+ Greenshot's image editor. If you feel the image editor reacting slowly as soon as a
+ blur is applied, try reducing the value for Preview quality in the toolbar or
+ decrease the value for Blur radius.
+ If the blur performance is still too bad for you to work with, you might prefer
+ to use the pixelize effect instead.
+
+ If you only need a part of the screenshot you have captured, use the crop tool C
+ to crop it to the desired area.
+ After selecting the crop tool, draw a rectangle for the area of the screenshot you want
+ to keep. You can resize the selected area like any other element.
+ When you are content with your selection, use the confirm button in the toolbar or hit
+ the Enter key. You can cancel cropping by clicking the cancel button or hitting
+ ESC.
+
+ Auto-Crop: If you need to crop a border of solid background color from your screenshot,
+ simply choose Auto-Crop from the Edit menu and Greenshot will automatically
+ select the area for cropping.
+
+ You can simply add graphics or images to your screenshot by dragging and dropping an image
+ file into the editor window. You can also insert screenshots of other windows by selecting
+ Insert window from the Edit menu. A list of all open windows appears,
+ allowing you to select one for insertion.
+
+ If you find yourself using the same or similar elements on most of your screenshots
+ (e.g. a textfield containing browser type and version, or obfuscating the same
+ element on several screenshots) you can re-use elements.
+ Select Save objects to file from the Object menu to save the current
+ set of elements for re-using it later. Load objects from file applies the
+ same elements to another screenshot.
+
+ After editing the screenshot, you can export the result for different purposes,
+ depending on your needs. You can access all export options through the File
+ menu, the topmost toolbar or via shortcuts:
+
+ After saving an image from the editor, right-click the status bar at the bottom of
+ the editor window to either copy the file path into the clipboard or open the
+ containing directory in Windows Explorer.
+
+ Displays a list of installed Greenshot plugins. Select one from the list and click Configure in order to access
+ the configuration of a plugin.
+
+ Currently, we do not need help in development. However, there are several things you
+ can do to support Greenshot and the development team.
+ Thanks in advance :)
+
+ We are putting a lot of work into Greenshot and spending quite some time to provide
+ a good piece of software for free and open source. If you feel
+ that it makes you more productive, if it saves you (or your company)
+ a lot of time and money, or if you simply like Greenshot and
+ the idea of open source software: please consider honoring our effort by donating.
+ Please have a look at our home page to see how you can support the Greenshot development team:
