Description: How to use PrintKey 2000 v5.10

PrintKey-Pro is a screen capture program that can capture the screen or any part of it with the press of the Print Screen key (or any other key you configure).

You can adjust the captured picture's brightness, contrast, colour balance, size, colour invert, or convert to greyscale or black and white.

Pictures can be edited, using the built-in image editors and printed or saved in multiple formats such as JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIF and PCX. You can also insert text and free hand draw on the picture.

You can capture the full screen or just the active window, the client area, or any rectangular or circular area with or without the cursor.

You can preview the picture, add the date, user info, and any text you choose before printing.
