Skitch

Let's suppose that you want to capture your screen and also add various elements to the screenshot, like arrows or bullets, so you can present certain points of the screenshot to other users. If you decide to use the Windows capturing tool and Microsoft Paint, you will lose a lot of time and effort and you will not get professional results. Instead, you should use Skitch.

This Windows program allows you to capture your desktop with a single mouse click and then add various elements to the screenshot. After installing and launching the program, you can first create an account on the program's website. Having an account will allow you to publish your screenshots online and share them with anyone.

After the account has been created, you can start the capturing process just by clicking on the "screen snap" button, located in the middle of the interface. The program can either capture your entire screen or a specific area of the desktop. After the capturing process is complete, you will be able to add various elements over the screenshots. The graphical toolbar located in the left part of the interface offers quick access to these tools. Besides adding colorful arrows, you can also paint and draw over the screenshot, using a variety of drawing tools. Furthermore, you can crop certain areas of the screenshot.

After editing the screenshot and adding elements to it, you can share it to various social sites, like Facebook or Twitter. What's more, you can save the screenshot to a wide range of image formats and even print it to any regular printer.
