Snippy

  function/equiv: screen capture (region)   download link: http://www.bhelpuri.net/Snippy/  
  license: freeware (?)   homepage link: http://www.bhelpuri.net/Snippy/  
  my version: 0.22  

 

why i like it:

Snippy can capture user-selectable regions of the screen.  You can either draw a box around something, or just freehand-draw the area to be captured.  My only caveat is that it doesn't automatically save the captured region to a file.  After capturing, you have to go to 'save as...' to save it as a file, or else it just hangs out in the clipboard waiting for you to paste it into something.   Since I almost exclusively want to capture to file, this is a little bother, but certainly one I can live with for having such an excellent and tiny program to capture regions of the screen. (Also, I haven't had luck finding specifics about the software license, so I'm only assuming its freeware.)
