I rarely cover the same app on two blogs, but having recently reviewed PrtScr on gHacks, I thought I’d let Hack Your Day readers in on this awesome tool as well. PrtScr is a screenshot tool which takes the process to a whole new level, mostly by looking really good and handling really well.

Once you install it, you can use the print screen button to evoke it, it will drop a gray canvas over your screen and you can select any area of the screen. Pressing print screen again will take a shot of the whole screen, but you can also draw a freehand shape, or a rectangle.

The shot taken will hover to the right of the screen while you can choose options on the left. This part looks extremely impressive by the way, it is a joy to look at when I take a screenshot, seriously. You can choose to copy to the clipboard (you can also choose to do this automatically in the settings), you can choose to edit it, or save it to the desktop.

The coolest thing is that the hovering image can be drag and dropped, so if you want to edit it in Photoshop, just drag it onto the Photoshop taskbar entry, and then onto the canvas. You can also save it like this, dragging it onto the desktop, or any other folder.

There are a number of options available, but really this is a just an extremely new and cool way to take screenshots, and if you do this regularly, you will find PrtScr a joy to work with.
