I do dozens of screenshots daily, using them for illustrations or for quick snapshot or reminder of something I need to do. I typically have a dozen little windows open during the day, using them like a clipboard or an illustrated task-list. And, of course, I use them to grab illustrations.
Greenshot is my tool of choice and it is super-easy to use.
Press PrintScreen, draw a rectangle around the topic. Press enter.
Save the screenshot as a file, or onto a small editor window.
Greenshot is a community-developed tool; source code available on Github. For Windows users, is free, where they ask for a light donation. I like this tool better than Windows "snipping tool."
