    Screen capture program with these features combined?

    I currently use both Lightshot and Sharex, but I would like a single program that provides the features I like about both.

    What I like about Lightshot
    • Allows you to customize the area captured after you have selected the region (via dragging the sides/corners). This means selecting the region doesn't automatically take the screencapture.
    • Has built in tools for editing the image before you even take the screenshot (Pencil/Hollow rectangle/Hightlighter/Typewriter)


    What I like about Sharex
    • Has a "smart" selection built in to automatically select subregions (ex: an entire browser page minus bookmarkers/tabs/address bar)
    • Automatically uploads to your preferred hosting site (ex: uploads to my imgur account)
    • Saves all captures locally to directories named (YYYY-MM)
    • Lets you select what happens after you upload an image (ex: Automically copying the URL to clipboard/Automatically open tab with the image uploaded)

    Tried Greenshot yet? Should have most of the features you want and is completely free. http://getgreenshot.org/

    Those seem tailored towards video creation whereas I am looking for still pictures or gifs. Correct me if I am wrong.

    I think you can do stills (not sure a bout gifs). Those are more streaming/video programs, but depending on what you were doing, those may be good still captures for PC/HDMI pass throughs.
