  Indeed, Bickers took the time to educate me on the ways of capping, very grateful to you mate

  Bickers helped me too: he helped me to use the lic.me website (formerly imagechunk). You helped me too. Your time was greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks goes out to both you and Bickers.

  I have now tried out the Screen Hunter method of getting caps. It does cut out a lot of time when grabbing caps due to the built in option of being able to select the JPEC option for saving the files because once this is done. Caps go into JPEG folders right away. It works like a camera. So some of the steps taken are cut down.
  
  Having said that : if you cap in full screen the images will come out too big if using Google Chrome. Have to reduce to 67 or 33. Also, there's only a one second delay after the capture button has been hit. So it's great on the whole to use if you don't have that much time and you want to grab a quick set of caps and they're more general.
  
  I'll be using the Screen Hunter method for close ups and going for the finish of sets as well as using the prt screen to do the other caps. This is brilliant. Now I have two options to choose from when capping. In summary: Outlaw's method is more time efficient and cuts out several steps. Whereas the prt screen method of taking caps has no time delay upon hitting the prt screen button giving the image less chance to move out of place. Good when image is in a specific position for very short time. Thanks Jack and Outlaw for explaining how the prt screen and the Screen Hunter method works. Also, thanks to Bickers for introducing the iphone download method in Warchy's thread and here.
  
  I hope more people come forward and share any other methods that we may try out.

  Hey Jackk. I wouldn't give up the prt screen method completely if you do decide to cap again, I find it's better for capturing images in a specific position. I am just adding the Screen Hunter method for close ups, finishing caps and times when I need to do a lot of less specifically positioned images in a short space of time.
