I often use Paint Sho Pro to edit screenshots because I like to darken the image except for the focal point. All I have to do is select the area I want to be highlighted, invert the selection, and adjust the brightness down. Attached is a sample image.
It would be so great if I could do this easily in the Greenshot image editor!
(Great program, by the way!)

Perhaps either break out those four features (Highlight Text, Highlight Area, Magnify, etc) into separate toolbar buttons on the left? Or make that small button that lets you choose the highlight method into a text+icon menu instead of just the icon... and add a label before it like "Highlight Mode: (icon) Highlight Area". I would have probably found it if it looked something like that. Thanks again!

Thanks for your feedback - great to hear it fits your needs We really need to look how we can make some things more discoverable in future...

Thanks, Jens! That's perfect. I never saw that before! Thanks a lot.

Hey there,
have you seen the "Highlight area" feature? Well, it might not be very easy to find, but it seems to do exactly what you are looking for. By default, it adds a blur effect to the rest (see screenshot), but you can adjust blur radius (as well as brightness) in the tool options bar on top when the tool is selected.
