I have recently purchased "Exposure" by Preferred Publishers from
MacConnection and I think it is the hottest screen capture utility in
the known universe. You can save in 11 preset formats as well as add
your own formats.

It basically works like this: you invoke anytime, anywhere, with a key
combination you specify with the cdev. At that time the entire screen
becomes a color painting. There is an Exposure floating palette with
many color paint tools and several unique tools optimized for screen
capture. Your original shot has no cursor, but there is a "stamp" tool
with a wide selection of cursors that you can "stamp" wherever you
want.

Weak points: color picker is tiny and too sensative. Some tools are
a little cumbersome (e.g. FatBits).

But I say, if this tool doesn't do exactly what you want, save your
screen as a PICT and open it in Studio/8.

I am majorly impressed by this software. I run a million conflicting
INITs, MultiFinder, ill-behaved applications, the whole mess, and so far
it has never so much as burped. Once again, I am impressed.

"Capture" by Mainstay is ok, but, really, it doesn't even come close.
