An easy to use screen capture tool. Based on Gary Choma's submission but simpler, smaller and different implementation. You can capture full screen, selected area and active window. Image can be copied to clipboard for pasting to other applications. Great for creating documentations.
An update is on the way with more features such as Image filter effects: Sharpen, Emboss, Diffuse, Solarize, Smoothen, etc. Image manipulation such as Invert, Zoomed, etc.
Automatic selection of window to capture.
