The LightScreen Free Software to Grab PC Screens is meant to be ultra simple. Unlike the commercial ones like Macromedia Captivate or the Camtasia Studio, this software wasn’t meant to capture the screen and actions for a prolonged time or make a movie out of it. It was meant to capture just the screenshot, which it does and also provides the user with useful features when doing so, which I think is great if your purpose is just to capture a screenshot after all!
