Jing Image

Jing is an excellent program that is used to capture images with easy sharing capabilities. Jing is free and easy to use. With the ability to instantly create links to your images, sharing has never been easier. All you have to do is take a screenshot using Jing's capture tool, use the available tools to enhance your image if you prefer, and click "share". And, viola! The image is available to pass on to your friends, classmates, coworkers,etc.
