I've been using Wisdom-soft's Screen Hunter for years (Windows). There is a free version, but it doesn't allow editing of the image. http://wisdom-soft.com/sh/sh_free.htm I've heard people like Lightscreen, but I personally haven't used it (Windows). http://lightscreen.sourceforge.net/ There is even a portable version you can install on a USB drive: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/lightscreen_portable On the Mac, I use Skitch. This is also free and allows simple editing http://skitch.com/ If you are taking screenshots of web pages, I would recommend the Screengrab add-on for Firefox. It is simple, free, but doesn't allow simple editing: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146 Kim Simone Q.
