Most 'good' paint programs will have screen capture utilities that reside
as a TSR and let you grab a screen during any application; this will solve
your problem one way, and not cost you any effort or money.

The other way is more difficult; some companies (e.g., the makers of HALO)
do sell programming libraries which work well with their own paint
programs.
