TNT Screen Capture Reviews

Dr. Gadget reviews TNT Screen Capture

When a press release about another screen capture program crosses my desk, it usually elicits a yawn.
For quick screen shots with Windows XP, I usually just tap PrintScrn.

It can even render the completed screen shot as a plane floating in 3D space, with lighting, surface reflection, and other options under user control.
