Tutorial applications

Soo far the best free applications that i found for using at tutorial creations was Jing and Wink;

Jing is very simple and with just a few functions it makes a great tool for taking screenshots or a screencast limited to 5 minutes;
Can identify and autoselect a screen region (an application windows, task bar ...etc ) or use the rectangular selection; Can add arrow, text, frame or highlight;
The downside (for some but not for me) is that in order to use the application you need to register on screencast.com;


Wink is much more complex and you can do lots of things with it but giving the large number of options you need to get familiar with it before using it; one big advantage - it creates high compressed flash presentations; can capture periodically at the specified time interval and or on mouse and keyboard input;

Problem Steps Recorder

Problem Steps Recorder is Windows 7 feature that can be used to capture screenshots for every action you perform; The result is a zipped MHTML file;
Default settings of PSR saves only the last 25 screenshots; the number can be encreased;
If you need to capture screenshots that are running with elevated rigths you need to lunch PSR with elevated rigths to.
