UltraSnap PRO
Vendor: Mediachance
Purpose: Screen capture utility with additional editing functions
Description
UltraSnap PRO takes commonplace screen capture to a new level by adding a complete
WYSIWYG graphics editing capability. Instead of capturing a screen image and then opening
an image editor to add captions, annotations, cursors, or arrows, the user simply takes
advantage of the tools provided. Its editing is non-destructive, enabling the addition of
shadows, bevels, and objects, complete with multiple anti-aliasing for improved image
quality. It even offers standard photo-processing features, such as gamma control, contrast,
brightness, color boosting, and histogram adjustment, together with resizing tools.
Comments
UltraSnap PRO is one of those utilities that you download for fun, and then find yourself
using quite frequently. If, for whatever reason, you are in the habit of making screen
captures, UltraSnap (especially this Pro version) is a must-have tool. With a simple click
on the Edit button it switches into a full editing mode, complete with a magnifying lens
function. It is not only fun to use but also genuinely useful.
