I'm also trying to break my addiction to my legally-purchased-but-overinstalled Paint Shop Pro 6.02. Let me explain a little bit more about why new Paint.Net users miss this functionality (and cringe when we have to use Ctrl+Print Screen).
In Paint Shop Pro, you could set up screen capturing using these options:
Invocation:
On keypress (e.g., Shift + F11)
On timer (e.g., every 2 seconds, or once after 6 seconds)
Scope:
Current window, full screen or selection (made at time of invocation)
With mouse pointer or without
As users of Snaggit or Microsoft OneNote know, the ability to grab just a window or a section of the screen is a huge timesaver: it keeps you from having to "recrop" the image in your paint program, or open a huge paint window to cleanly crop what you want.
The ability to capture mouse pointers and take a timed screenshot is also great when you're trying to grab a picture of a screen that's "screen print resistant" (i.e., what "screen print" captures is slightly different than what goes to the clipboard.
Anyway - I hope this helps. Mark me down as "very interested" in this too!!!
Can I use Paint.Net to take screen shots of my browser?
