Jing for image capture and video recording


Hello, I been an Online researcher fora year and it teaches me how to use lots of things including tools which can ease my daily work life.

If I need to capture image ,  I used to click PRTSC on my keyboard and paste it on PAINT here in my windows computer and save  it.Yes, its very convenient to use as well. What if I tell you I have very useful tool to use for image capturing and even Video recording? sound good, Right?

I want to introduce to you the magic of "Jing".
  1. "Jing is a screencasting computer program launched in 2007 asJing Project by the TechSmith Corporation. The software takes a picture or video of the user's computer screen and uploads it to the Web, FTP, computer or clipboard." (wikipedia)
You can download Jing at Techsmith after you download and install it you can have this in your computer 

It looks like a sun, the first ray is for capturing image, select the area you want to capture and you can save, share and edit the image if you like( adding arrows, number, letters, etc) . Second ray is the history 

This is how it looks like you can sort it if you want images only , video or both. I chose both. If you can see the eye icon at the bottom, that the button to full size, the crown like is for sharing and the trashcan icon is of course for deleting.


Why I like Jing rather than Lightshot and others? Because it is a complete tool unlike Lighshot, it is for image capturing only, then if you want to record video you need to download another app again, which is time consuming and can it up space as well.
