I've just released Clipboard Inspector, a handy little tool I wrote that monitors the Windows clipboard and displays its contents in a variety of formats. It'll display clipboard data in Bitmap, CSV, File, HTML, RTF, Text, and Unicode Text formats, and you can save the data to a file if you wish. It'll even export clipboard bitmaps to GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, so it's pretty handy for saving screenshots taken with ALT+PrintScreen. And of course, it's free. Enjoy.

Sweet!
I've always wondered if there were something out there that could do this.
jeepy elle
shareware?
Re: jeepy elle
Freeware for now, but I'll make the source available if people want it. It wasn't a particularly hard program to write, though, so releasing the source almost didn't seem worth the trouble, since it's not really anything special.
Neat!
Now I don't have to fire up a clunky graphics editor to save screenshots in a compressed format. Very helpful!
Cool!
I can use it when I am stealing Funny Pictures from WayStupid.com! Haha. Seriously though, this is a really cool idea. I am utterly shocked that Microsoft didn't build that feature into windows.
PNGOUT?
It would be even more awesome if it used PNGOUT!! I would never really have to leave the application for another when messing about with images to be captured and saved.
Re: PNGOUT?
PNGOUT already has an option to retrieve a bitmap from the clipboard. You don't even need Clipboard Inspector.
