    currently I'm using print screen and paint for creating screenshot. Are there better ways of doing this?

    I find saving the print screenshot in photoshop to be much better quality.

    Depends on what I'm planning to do with it.
    If I need poor quality - I use MS Paint.
    For better quality - I have an old version of PaintShopPro (ver. 7) which is working faster than Photoshop.
    In case of a need of high quality screenshots I will use Photoshop.

    There's a firefox plugin for capturing screen shots. i've not used it much though... i tend to go down the print screen -> photoshop route.

    Depends what for really, For games, I use fraps. But for windows in general, i use print screen and load in onto Photoshop, for maximum quality.

    Don't forget about the Open Source GNU/GPL "WINK" Debug Software http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ <<~~ Allows you to take screen shots & render in 8 crystal clear formats, not to mention Exporting as PDF & you can create Flash Presentations on the fly with it.

    Well, if free is what you need & you're not looking to buy, then WINK is a great alternative.

    Good luck to you!
