The toolkit supports text input to send a caption with the images. All you need is to use the arrow in the area of capture and save it using the save function on the window. You can also capture any desktop activity and stick send it to social networking sites. This is an application which allows you to take screenshots of animation and even videos for sharing to an online network. What if you are working offline and you want to capture an image of a video for the purpose of sharing? All these questions are answered by Jing.

Then you can simply drag this image onto any comment, discussion or task we have in basecamp.Ask yourself what happens when you want to capture an image or a video online without the option of download. (I’ve got a temp directory for this sort of thing). Then use it’s save button to save that image to a folder on your computer. Take a screenshot with jing and mark up your comments using it’s tools. Jing is to Basecamp what Tomato sauce is to steak pies. I couldn’t think of quick way to resolve this paradox, so resorted to taking a photo of my screen. I couldn’t use Jing to take a screenshot, while the Jing options page was on screen. But once you’ve configured these 2 settings, your all ready to Jing your way into a better tomorrow… It’s nuts it doesn’t work this way by default. The obvious choice is your keyboard’s “print screen” key. Tick ‘Hide Jing Sun’ (because that default behavior is crazy annoying – it puts a small icon on the top of your screen).Once it’s installed I do recommend opening it up and making these 2 changes. If you don’t already have it, it will take a little time to install. This will install automatically if you don’t have it. So this might be the most important software you ever install… I’ve had one client I’ve introduced Jing to claim it had changed their life. Quite often a picture literally tells a thousand words. They can take a screenshot of the area of the site they are giving feedback on, and mark up comments.


I use it all the time, but the reason I’m writing a blog about it, is that for us – it’s of particular use for our clients providing feedback on websites and other design work. The resulting image can be saved, or copy and pasted into any document or program such as Outlook. The resulting snap you can crop and markup with simple notes. It’s a simple & free screen capture tool, that allows you take a snap of your computer screen. Jing is the best ‘print screen’ or screen capture tool I’ve come across. You may be familiar with the ‘print screen’ key on your keyboard. Jing is one of my favorite utility tools for PC, and one I recommend to clients all the time.
