Screen-grab like a Mac with Digeus SnapIt! (Sort of.)
In a previous post, I wrote:
It's super smooth to do a screen capture in Mac:The people at Digeus provided me with a copy of SnapIt Screen Capture Software to review. This is what I learned.1. command + shift + 3 to capture the whole screen.2. command + shift + 4 > click + drag to capture part of the screen.3. command + shift + 4 > spacebar > click to capture a window.In all cases, a png image will appear on your Desktop.
1. SnapIt is snappy. It starts up quickly (after a hassle-free typical install). It doesn't slow down my machine. It runs in a little Taskbar icon.
2. It can be set up to mimic behaviour 2 above:
2.1.Press Prt Scrn and your mouse pointer will change to crosshairs. Click and drag the portion of the screen that you want to capture.
2.2. Right-click the SnapIt icon in the Taskbar and click Save As.
2.2.1. Or, set up the Preferences to autosave the image wherever you want - I save mine as pngs on my Desktop, mimicking my Mac.
3. And that's about it. SnapIt doesn't do 1 and 3 like the Mac does.
3.1. But I'm happy - SnapIt allows me to capture my Twitter Serendipities well enough! Give it a go - it's free to try.
