The absolutely only thing we couldn't capture from our screen with Capture Professional 3 is Capture Pro itself. There probably is a way to do it, since there seems to be a way to do everything else, but we have yet to find it and we wanted to be able to tell you about this do-it-all capture program as quickly as possible.

   Nothing quite appeals so much as a program which sets out to do a useful thing and does it just right. And when the program adds a number of bells and whistles, you sort of want to sit back and applaud.
   Such is Capture Professional 3.
   Capture Pro 3 redefines screen capture utilities, in ease of use, abilities and – honestly – surprises. But to start at the beginning, it will capture just about anything under the sun (except iteslf): active windows, client windows, ovals, rectanges, the entire desktop, menus, icons(!) and so on. It even has a menu capture wizard that will capture every menu in an application. Is that going overboard? Maybe so. But its nice to know it is there.
   (Well, obviously, screen capture programs are not always the must-have utilities everyone needs. But with a program like this one, you'll find some good needs you might not know you had. More on that in a bit.)
   If you look at the screen shot (we use screen captures all the time) above, you will see some things one never sees in this kind of a program: the kind of tools you would expect in a good painting application. That is because Capture Pro is also a painting program, and a darn good one, that is on a par with JASC's PaintShop Pro.
   This is very handy if you capture something and want to do more than just crop the image you captured. For instance, in order to prepare a capture for use here, I needed to capture three windows together. Since they were not all of the same dimension, I ended up with some of my desktop showing in the capture, which would have been distracting. Capture Pro allowed me to just draw white rectangles over the desktop part of the capture. Viola! No more distractions.
   If you are capturing for the web, you can adjust the size of JEPG images (which is the advantage of JEPG) as you save your capture. A neat and nifty preview feature allows you to see what the saved file will look like with the compression applied.
   The single feature that absolutely blew me away, though, was Capture Pro's ability to scroll an image on the screen and capture it! You have to see this to believe it. All with a click of the mouse button! And the it prints that screen out on a single page with just another click or two.
   I tried this with a long web page from a news site which included several pictures and then printed it out for my wife, who was interested in the news story. The web "page" was about 2½ actual pages long, but was easily readable on both my laser printer and my Epson Stylus 800. Just for fun, I then cut and pasted the pictures into another "document" and printed them out full size.
   Pretty amazing. I tried it with a couple of longer letters in Word and Capture Pro worked perfectly, scrolling the whole thing. This is so handy, it is almost a program all by itself.
   I am very impressed with Capture Professional 3. I'm glad I found it and you will be, too. It is super and you should take it for a spin right away.
