Screen Capture 1:1 with 4K monitor

[gwpriester]

I can not determine what resolution makes a pasted screen capture 1:1 Pro+, 4K monitor 3840 x 2160.
Nothing I try seems to make any sense.

I could never get xara's screen capture to work properly above 2K - even then it seemed flakey; I use a third party capture program that runs in the background and imo works far better [and doesn't require another program to be open to use]

Genuine question. Why not use the Windows built in offering?

Winkey+Shift+S gives you simple options, rectangle, freeform, Window and Full Screen. It copies your choice directly to the clipboard...plonk the result anywhere.

I like free, light-weight utility Lightshot that runs in the background: https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html

I'm just using Print Screen on the keyboard. Nothing fancy. I use it primarily if I need to post a menu or some function here on TG.

it does not as i recall give you send directly to printer, nor save as default file name, or save as dialog; it does not allow you to scroll down your capture if the area you are capturing is partly out of view

Winkey Shift S

Brilliant.

BUT It still does not tell me at what % the pasted capture will be 1:1.

Try Lightshot, I love it and have used it for years. https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html
