My usual process for screen grabs is the normal Mac screen shot (apple – shift – 3), then browse to find the file on my desktop and then edit in Photoshop. This process can be a little lengthy and to be honest a pain in the ass. I have used SnagIt in the past and it works great but I really don’t feel like pay $30 for that privilege. Then along comes Jing (http://www.jingproject.com/), from the makers of SnagIt

Free screen caps, short video caps and free to share online (for now). The widget stays with you as a yellow sun in the upper right corner ready for all my screen capture glory. Give it a shot it works nicely.

I even made a short video of me writing this blog, cool right!?
