To enter region capture mode, go to the Greenshot context menu (Fig. 1) and left clicking on the "Capture region" option or by pressing the Print Screen key on your keyboard. Once in region capture mode, move the crosshair to where you want one of the corners of your screenshot to be. Press and hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to select the rectangle to be shot. When the green rectangle covers the area you want to be captured in your screenshot, release the mouse button. Finally, choose the option (Fig. 6) you want for the screenshot from the menu that appears. You can use the Space key to switch between region and window mode (Fig. 4). If you want to capture an exact area, it might be easier to select the initial screenshot area slightly larger and to crop the screenshot afterwards using Greenshot's image editor.
