Taking Pictures of Your Screen

CaptureEze Pro is a good program to use if you do a lot of screen captures. This program is really small so it doesn't take long to download and install. I would give CaptureEze Pro a four out of five stars. The only trouble I had with this screen capturing program was that my computer froze when I tried to open a saved image. Other than that CaptureEze Pro is a great program to use when taking screen captions.

It is very easy to take pictures of your screen with CaptureEze Pro. First, open your CaptureEze Pro program. When the screen comes up, click on the Capture and Preview button. Then click the Next button. On the next screen you will need to select the capture that you want. You can click Entire Screen to capture the entire screen. Then click the Activate button. Maximize the window that you want to take the picture of. Then press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. Once you press the Print Screen key the CaptureEze Pro window will come up with your picture. That's how you take a picture of your screen using CaptureEze Pro.

Not only can you capture screen shots, you can also open other images on your computer in this program, including your digital camera photos. You can quickly and easily turn a color photo into a black and white photo using CaptureEze Pro. And you can sharpen your captions, too.

CaptureEze Pro also allows you to lay your screen shots out on a blank page the way that you want them. This is a great feature. You're given a blank page and then you can start capturing the screens and rearranging them on the page. Then you can print or save your captions.

In CaptureEze Pro offers many tools to advance your screen capture. You have tools like cropping, adding frames, changing the image size, changing the color and more. There are many different frames to choose from and you can change the color of the frames. You can also emboss your screen captions or photos.

I installed CaptureEze Pro on two of my computers. One has Windows XP and it worked great. However, when I installed it on my Windows 98, it would not run. Don't use this program if you have Windows 98.

This is a fairly good program overall. It is user friendly and pretty self explanatory. When you place your mouse over a button, at the bottom of your window you will see an explanation for that button. But the downside is, you can't open an image that you save to your desktop without it freezing and you can't run this program on Windows 98.
