What do you use to take screenshots?

Thank you all for your ideas, I have made a macro for my programmable mouse, so one button press = window key+print screen, I like it takes PNG as JPEG’s like Steve say are not the best.

A big thanks to those of you that recommended "LightScreen".   Easy to set up and works like a charm.

Game recording, screen recording, image capture and game FPS overlay.

Free version can record up to ten minutes per file and unlimited screen capture.

I purchased the full version and it works with no issue with with MSFS and other games.

I use my Iphone since it has 4k and my monitor does not.. I put my plane on active pause and then take a picture with my phone and now I have a 4k screenshot.. works great.

Can any of these screenshot software let me bind the hotkey to a joystick button? I used to bind XP or P3D/FSX screenshot key to the trigger of my joystick and it works great. Since MSFS has no dedicated screenshot key I can't do this anymore.

Most likely  , I would say yes.. 

Great, will give lightscreen a try tonight.

I use autoscreencapture.  I turn it on when I'm flying and have it configured to take a new screenshot every second.   It eats up disk pretty quick, but disk is cheap.   Then afterwards if I think there might be something I'd want to save I look through the screenshots, pick keepers, and delete the rest.

This way I never have to miss an "oh s...!" moment because I'm too busy trying to keep the plane in the air to think to take the time to snap a screenshot.

I use Snagit (Payware). The late great Tom Allensworth once did a feature on that program right here, some years ago.

They say 14 million people use it now. It comes with a graphic editing tool too, to tidy up your pics with annotations , arrows, labels.

Why not just use Windows+PRT SCR?

LOL, here's an idea...

Aside from autoscreen, I use Greenshot for general screen capture.   It's free (like Lightscreen), lightweight (like Lightscreen), extremely configurable (like Lightscreen), and has an integrated editor with a handful of useful tools you can use for obfuscating and annotating images (unlike Lightscreen).

It's super useful when your purpose in taking screenshots is to be more illustrative.  Like this:
