Faststone VS PicPick- which one is the best Screen Capture Tool

FastStone capture is one of the best and easy to use screen capture and video tutorial maker application tool and widely used to make instant image demo or tutorials by many bloggers. Formerly this tool was free but now it is a paid application and we can use its trial version for free. Fast Stone is now not only a screen capturer but also it is a screen recorder application now so it has become a paid app.

Picpick is available in two editions i.e in home and paid editions. Its free edition is really awesome and we can do much more with. It works just like Fast stone but it is somewhat better than it. The image editor is far more advanced than FF capture and contains advanced line art options such as curve tool,bubble text caption box,better color options,color picker. This program has lot of hotkeys to use such as capture fixed screen capture,rectangle region capture,load last screen capture and more and the proper meaning of all these saying is “ PicPick is more advanced application than Fast Stone screen capture and it is free for personal use. With pixel ruler you can measure the length and height of any object on your desktop and I think it is a rare type of feature found. Another awesome feature of PicPick is its desktop color picker with which you can pick desired color on your desktop screen and apply its HTML code to your web layout. Personally I love this feature as a web designer.
