PicPick

PicPick is an all-in-one program that provides a full-featured screen capture tool, an intuitive image editor, a color picker, a color palette, a pixel-ruler, a protractor, a crosshair and even a whiteboard.

With this tool you can take screenshots of the entire screen, an active window, specific region of the screen, free hand, scrolling window.PicPick is a full-featured image editing and graphic design program with many tools for editing, resizing, capturing screen shots, and more.

The Screen Capture tool has many useful options. You can choose the default file format for the image (PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF), and the action to take when printing the screen. You can choose to open the captured image with the Image Editor, save it directly to a file, send it to the clipboard or to an MS Office application, e-mail it, or upload it to your Facebook or Twitter account, to an FTP server, or to an image hosting service.

The Image Editor is very easy to use. Its menus resemble those found in MS Office applications with the image editing menu active. You have five groups of features for edition: Clipboard, View, Image, Tool, and Colors. With them you can resize, add effects and shapes, paint, zoom, and more.

It packs some other useful tools: A color picker to select any color of the screen, a palette to pick a color from it or to enter the RGB or hue and saturation values, a magnifier, a protractor, a crosshair and a whiteboard to paint directly in your screen.

As a screen capture program it is perfect with its tools and features. As a matter of fact, it has become my favorite for these tasks. As an image editor, it is also a good choice for basic image manipulation. Of course, it doesn't have the features of some graphic design suits, but it has a great functionality compared to other similar programs.

PicPick is provided as a freeware program for personal use, but you can buy a license for commercial use.
