Best screen cap tool

[Thready]

I need to take screenshots of my photo editing process and I can't stand Windows' new snipping tool because it doesn't actually save to clipboard or in a location. What's the best and easiest screen cap tool out there in your opinion.

Why not alt+Print Screen if you want to copy a screenshot of an application to clipboard? Also, snipping tool does copy to clipboard by default

Snipping tool... it does.

You click file > save as

I can't figure out how to do that. When I do Windows Key Shift S and then I drag the pointed, when I click, it all goes away

It puts it in the clipboard...

 

Or you can just use the snipping tool application, which then gives you the option to save the file to a location.

When I bring up the clipboard though it says there's nothing there

How are you accessing the clipboard?

 

You can take a snip then paste it straight into a document or paint or similar.

Win + printscreen takes a screenshot and automatically saves it to your Screenshots folder under Pictures

Greenshot (it’s called something like that) is 100x better than the standard Win 1 screenshotter and is free. It runs in the background and is automatically assigned to the ‘prntscrn’ key.
