I use the Windows snipping tool with paint if I need to edit the image, been doing that for years.

you mena there is a snipping told INSIDE the paint program or you use both the tool in win 10 combined with the program?

i also used this little handy article not too long ago: https://www.ghacks.net/2013/04/19/how-to-change-microsoft-paints-default-save-type/

I came across this during my morning rounds. Kinda interesting - I haven't downloaded the demo yet to play around with it but I will eventually.

I recommend you also take a look at ShareX. It is free and open source.

ShareX - The best free and open source screenshot tool for Windows

ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.

My wife uses it extensively. She is so impressed, she actually makes donations to them every time she uses it. Not much - $1 per use - but she is a real miser and for her to do that is mind-blowing.

ShareX .I might have to look at that. I'm absolutely in love with Greenshot. It's astounding the speed I can draw a screenshot region and instantaneously either save directly to my desktop, display saveas, or copy to clipboard. I don't like programs that push you towards opening it inside it's special editor, so I like Greenshot's direction toward paint if you so choose.
I've noticed that everyone who uses a screenshot tool is in love with it - i.e. emotions run high. I think it's just that there are a lot of really great tools out there! It's an area well served.
