I endorse what Winifred has said. I have used the odd window capture software before but they have always proven to be more fiddly than using Print Screen and dumping into a new Photoshop file thus (assuming the application I am writing about is running on my local machine):
1. Working in FM, ALT-TAB to application 2. Perform the task or go to the correct window configuration. Press PRINT SCREEN 3. ALT-TAB to Photoshop and open a new file. The new file will have the same dimensions as the image data stored on the clipboard. 4. CTRL-V to paste into Photoshop file and manipulate as necessary. 5. Save the file with obvious filename and import into FM. OK. Not a 1-click process but then I have rarely ever found the exact process to be the same, time after time. Always there are slight variations, such as in steps 2, 4, and 5.
