Windows Snapshot Maker (shortly WinSnap) is a small enhancement utility for taking and editing screenshots.
WinSnap automates all manual work and handle technical issues that previously you might perform only with Photoshop or other image editors.
Initially, WinSnap was designed simply to take snapshots of non-rectangular windows, such as windows with XP visual styles, skinned media players, etc. Now it is supplemented with professional smoothing shadows, coloring effects, canvas transformations, ability to automatically save images in
various image formats and more.
WinSnap helps you easily make small thumbnail previews and full-sized
screenshots for your web blog and home page, visualize technical and
educational materials, send reduced-size images through email.You will
perform professional screenshots immediatelly with one click!
WinSnap was especially designed for capturing the new Windows Vista UI. It
can handle all possible issues with translucent window frames and rounded
corners. WinSnap can draw a drop shadow effect which is very similar to the
Aero theme.
Now shadows are semi-transparent! It allows really easy image compositing,
and it is very useful when placing your screenshots on multi-colour
backgrounds.
WinSnap allows you to select and capture multiple objects (e.g. windows,
dialogs, buttons and controls) at once. Just place a few windows on the
screen and easy combine them into one screenshot image.
You can quickly open screenshots in your favourite image editor using the
Tools menu or shortcut keys. It also allows you to automatically save images
into different directories and in different formats.
NOTE: Registered users are able to download a Portable Edition of WinSnap.
It is a special edition of WinSnap designed to run it from a removable media:
USB flash drive, memory stick, iPod/MP3 player, network share, etc.
Here are some key features of “WinSnap”:
Flexible screen capture capabilities:
В· WinSnap can capture full screen or screen regions in various forms,
together with separate windows and all visible windows in an entire
application. WinSnap easily captures non-rectangular and transparent
windows. All void space surrounding separate windows, non-rectangular
window forms and regions can then be automatically filled with the
background of your choice.
Professional shadow effects and powerful image processing:
В· WinSnap provides Photoshop-like shadow effects with customizable size,
angle, color, smoothing and other settings. The main difference from
Photoshop and all other image editing programs is that WinSnap stores all
window form information and draws realistic non-rectangular shadows. This is
a considerable advantage when you taking snapshots of windows with XP
visual styles and skinned windows (e.g. media players). In addition, WinSnap
supports outline shadows and basic image coloring effects.
Basic canvas transformations:
В· WinSnap can automatically rotate and scale images with the highest
possible quality. In combination with other effects, it allows you to quickly
create high-end thumbnail previews of full-size screenshots.
Aero Glass capturing with shadows and transparencies:
В· WinSnap v2.0 was especially designed for capturing the new Windows Vista
UI. It can handle all possible issues with translucent window frames and
rounded corners. WinSnap can draw a drop shadow effect that is very similar
to the Aero theme.
Alpha-Channel and PNG transparency support:
В· Now shadows are semi-transparent! This function allows very easy image
compositing, and is particularly useful when placing screenshots on multi-
color backgrounds.
Unique Multi-Object capture mode:
В· WinSnap v2.0 allows you to simultaneously select and capture multiple
objects (e.g. windows, dialogs, buttons and controls). A few windows can be
placed on the screen and easily combined into one screenshot image.
Work faster with configurable External Tools:
В· You can quickly open screenshots in your favorite image editor using the
Tools menu or shortcut keys. This feature also allows you to automatically
save images into different directories and in different formats.
Easy Web publishing and E-mail dispatch:
В· WinSnap was especially developed for Web publishing; HTML-style color
themes allow you to easily adapt captured snapshots to your web pages.
WinSnap also allows you to quickly send screen data via e-mail to
demonstrate a particular problem you might be having with a program.
Advanced save and copy options:
В· If multiple snapshots are taken, WinSnap can automatically save images
onto disk. The filename can be automatically sequenced to prevent you from
overwriting previous snapshots. Of course, WinSnap supports all popular
image formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF and BMP.
Keyboard and mouse control:
В· By analogy with TaskSwitchXP, WinSnap is a PrintScreen replacement
software. By default, WinSnap replaces the standard PrintScreen key
combinations and can operate in a hidden state to remove any signs of
WinSnap from the screen. Hotkeys are fully configurable, while it is also
possible to undertake all work with the mouse if preferred.
Multilingual user interface:
В· WinSnap supports language extensions (Unicode based). If you would like to
localize WinSnap to your native language, see instructions at the
WinSnaplang subfolder. You can then submit your translation to the NTWind
forums.
Small and fast for an image editor:
В· WinSnap only takes a very small amount of system resources for an image
editing program. There is no need to worry about system performance while
taking and editing screenshot images. It is smaller than Paint!
