ShareX makes marking up a screen for documentation purposes a breeze. Why? Because you can capture info off the screen, instead of having to create an image file-this solves two problems. It doesn’t interrupt your work flow, and you can use one tool for the complete process. Here’s what I used to do:
- Save the screen image to a file.
- Open an editing tool like pixlr.
- Load the image.
- Use drawing tools to crop and add markup to the image, click save.
And now, with ShareX:
- Click in the toolbar to bring up ShareX.
- Select what region I want to capture.
- Markup the image and click save (automatically goes to Imgur).
I save one step and I complete the work using one tool. Unfortunately, it’s a Windows-only tool. I would love to have it on my Linux machine. But, it is free.
