I recently tried Screenshot Magic with the output set to JPG, but no
joy.
So happened to pick up a couple the other day. Stuff to collect for
getting around to trying them among popular stuff usually with good
reason (from a group of of hen pickers when it comes to freeware they
like). Dunno about throwing curves w/ desktop resolution changes --
what's up in your stars. I'm still using oldie goldie, PrintKey 2000.
freeware
1: IrfanView (and plug in zip file - desc following infranview)
screen saver
is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-
commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP,
2003 , 2008, Vista, Windows 7.
(click here for IrfanView EULA)
It is designed to be simple for beginners and powerful for
professionals.
IrfanView seeks to create unique, new and interesting features, unlike
some other graphic viewers, whose whole "creativity" is based on
feature cloning, stealing of ideas and whole dialogs from ACDSee and/
or IrfanView! (for example: XnView has been stealing/cloning features
and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 10+ years).
IrfanView was the first Windows graphic viewer WORLDWIDE with Multiple
(animated) GIF support.
One of the first graphic viewers WORLDWIDE with Multipage TIF support.
The first graphic viewer WORLDWIDE with Multiple ICO support.
