Greenshot - the best screenshot software out there. Open source and beats all the paid options.

Maps to print screen key. Let's you draw a box around what you want to snip, then you can send it straight to the clipboard, or open in a quick editor for notes, or go straight to imgur or a myriad of other programs.

If you're using windows I'd also recommend checking out share-x (https://getsharex.com/). I'm not exactly a power user for this type of application but share-x appears to have some more advanced features that some here may appreciate.

Ooh, I'm a sucker for a slick interface. And this one looks a bit more polished than greenshot. I will be checking it out. Thanks
