Fabulous little screenshot application
UPDATE 14 FEB 07: Version 2 is out and it’s not free any more. Still a great little app…
Like many computer nerds, I find myself often wanting to take a screenshot of an application window or just a small region of the screen. Like everybody who has ever tried this, I have found Windows (XP)’s built-in ‘print screen’ function to be woefully inadequate.
Well, here’s a beaut little tool that’s free for non-commercial use: WinSnap.
WinSnap allows you to capture:
- the whole screen, or
- a user selected part of the screen, or
- an application window, or even
- a collection of application windows.
With this tool, you can
- capture windows with rounded corners (without having the capture ‘square up’ the corners
- rotate the captured windows
- add drop shadows
- add watermarks.
If you take screenshots, you WILL find this application useful.
Recommended.
