Lightscreen (Windows application)

So far I've been pretty terrible at this whole blogging thing - I haven't been posting step-by-steps of whatever 3D work I've been doing. I usually get caught up in the work / following tutorials that I sit there for hours modelling and forget to take screenshots and notes on what I'm actually doing.

So I figured one of the reasons for this is how tedious taking screenshots is. You have to pause whatever you're doing, take a printscreen or use the Snipping Tool, then save it manually before you can get back to your work. Not that big a deal, I know, but when you're doing step-by-step blogs, it gets tedious.

So, after some research (thank you wikipedia) I found Lightscreen. This is a program that sits in your system tray, and allows you to set a hotkey to take and save a screenshot with just one button. Oh, and it's free. I thought I'd post this so that anyone else doing step-by-steps can give it a look and lighten their workload a bit!
