A few posts ago, I lamented the loss of Skitch<\/a> as a tool I could use to capture areas of the screen and more importantly annotate or markup the captures. I use a lot of screen captures in may posts and a tool that makes the process of collection and annotation easy is essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some exploration, I have come up with an alternative – Awesome Screenshot<\/a>. This tool is a Chrome extension with a free and paid options. The free option provides all I need to select and markup images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awesome is an extension so after installation, it will show up in the icon bar of your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awesome was created both for screen recording and screen capture so it has more capabilities than I need. The default is Record, so the first step in capturing stills from the screen is to select Capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capture tool offers several options. In most situations, I want to select a portion of the screen rather than all that is displayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a selection has been made, the tools menu appears allowing annotations, markups, and saving the finished product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
