Lightshot

Lightshot is a screen capture tool for Windows that works very much like the Snipping tool in Windows Vista and Windows 7, with the added advantage of automatically uploading it online for sharing or editing.
Lightshot replaces the default PrtScr key of the keyboard to launch the shooting tool, which bears some similarities to the aforementioned Snipping tool. The user can click and drag the mouse cursor to select the region they want to take a screenshot of. The dimension of the selected region is displayed at the top of the selection, which is very helpful for bloggers who require screenshots to be within a specific dimension.
Once the region is selected an array of buttons appear at the bottom which gives access to various options such as copy to clipboard, save as an image file to hard disk, upload to Imageshacks and edit online on Pixlr. Uploaded images will be linked via prntscr.com website.
Lightshot also supports a handful of shortcuts. An advantage of this program is that it uses the same default shortcuts Windows uses for such operations such Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+S to save and so on.
Lightshot is avalaible as a Desktop application, or as a Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome extensions.
