When do you need it? Once you have a copy you will find many uses for it, the chief one
being to email a complete screen capture rather than sending just a link or a downloaded
image. It is useful to be able to show the context of an image as well as the image itself.
Comments
When you download this utility, a small floating Capture Panel appears on the screen—
when you select the area of the screen you want to capture the full interface launches
automatically. Users love it. It is discreet, easy to use, and genuinely useful.

FastStone Photo Resizer
Chapter 4 ■ Utility Software 39
Vendor: FastStone Soft
Purpose: Image conversion and resizing tool, with watermarking and add-text features
Description
From the same people who brought us the two great image viewers (FastStone Image Viewer
and MaxView) comes this image conversion and resizing tool. It offers drag-and-drop
mouse operation, conversion and renaming in batch mode, plus a whole host of other features
including the ability to crop, rotate, change the color depth, add text, and add watermarks.
As with all FastStone products, every feature is well implemented and easy to use.
Comments
Being free for personal use and extremely well designed, FastStone products could
scarcely be a better value. Ongoing development keeps them up with the very best lightweight
utilities.
