As Tochjo said, the
PrtnScrn button is excellent and often very underrated...
But, if I need some more control, I just use the snapshot feature from PSP itself (or any other graphics program I'm using). I really can't see how yet another seperate program (which you either need to have in memory at all times, or first load before you wanna take a sshot anyways) is going to be any more usefull.
99,9999% of all screenshots taken often get edited a bit anyways, so why not simply use the build in screenshot feature of the graphics program you use.
As for PSP, it supports everything you need, capturing area, full screen, client area, window or object. Activated by right click, hot key or time delay. Possebility to take multiple captures and to capture the cursor also...

As for making tutorials: pictures need to be always edited one way or the other anyways. Do not use "lazy-screenshot" pictures. The files often are either of low quality or either are very big. Decent tutorials contain edited pictures, not lazy raw saved as-is screenshots.

As for saving your screenshots:
Please do NOT use BMP as fileformat for attaching or showing screenshots to forum messages or sending screenshots to your contacts!!!
The reason for this can be read here:

Instead always use PNG, JPG or GIF!
