In the endless screenshots software, the author most promising Screenshot Captor. Although it is currently known in the country, but the reason to believe that it will become master of a new generation of screen shots - important point is that, Screenshot Captor is a free software.
Filed screenshots (also referred to as screenshot, capture, screen capture), many people first think of Hypersnap and Snagit. There is no doubt, due to a long history and high level, which is the highest share of two software. Hypersnap began when the first edition, the author could not be found; from the official website of the update history can be seen, in 2000, it introduced the 4.01 version (currently version 6.10). While celebrating the fifth anniversary of Snagit is under (1990-2006). Early screenshots of the field, can be said that the two pairs of water diversion, each half of the country. So far in terms of performance, is still second to none, of course, become the first choice for many companies. However, some individual users, especially students and young users, the price of 300 yuan while some high. So give up.
Since then, as technology development, there has been a growing number of similar software, there are some fine, but functionally equivalent are also expensive. I have hard search to replace free software, and eventually found several fine (see "Comments on the advantages and disadvantages of several free capture software"), which is naturally the strongest Screenshot Captor.
As a new software, and there is no finished version (of planned translated), Screenshot Captor low profile in China, and its performance, features far from matching. google look, only 18 million, and Hypersnap is 6.7 million. I hope this article was published, more people will know it, love it. The author to promote the excellent free software for music, therefore, the first translation of its official home page (translation) for domestic readers. From the writer's experience, it is well known, in large part because it is easy for users to some bad misunderstandings. Once overcome misunderstandings, recognize the nature, you will love it.
Misunderstanding number one: too big
If you download the software (the official download), the first impression is definitely too big: the installation package to 7.3MB, installed also do not account for the hundreds of megabytes! You would guess, either bloated size and poor quality, or is bundled with rogue plug-in. In fact, not, otherwise how can we act as master of the title.
Explanation 1: installation 7.6MB, which increased more than the installation package is only 300KB. This shows that it's program files are optimized to deal with. Unlike some software, executable files several megabytes, but severely diminished labeled zip is obviously not optimized the factory. Of course, this reason is not enough convincing, then read the following.
Explanation 2: Help file 3.4MB, material file 2.3MB. These of course can delete the. That is, the rest of the paper only for the implementation of 1.9MB. See?
Jie fans 3: You may wish to try, only to ScreenshotCaptor.exe extract out to see whether the run. The original, it takes only one exe, only 1.4MB can run (some features are not). Function than it is really very small up.
Misconception 2: True or false free free
Start the process, you will see a prompt (Figure 1), of course, a bunch of English. Cursory reading, is to download the license number. Well, to the site (or English) to download and found that only half a year ... ... you feel fooled yet?
Figure 1 is not registered there will be the start screen
That is not entirely the case, just look carefully to understand meditation.
Pop-up tips and Web sites make it clearer to understand:
鈶?This is a free software that users can not pay, without time limits and functional limitations to use it.
鈶?Users can not download the license number, such software only in the prompt will pop up each time it starts. You can click on it to immediately disappear; or ignore it, go away after a few seconds. And it can be normal within a few seconds using the program (not like Hypersnap, should you wait before they can be); nor will the process you use pop-up harassment.
鈶?recommended that users download the license number, is to encourage users to visit the site and consider whether the willingness to contribute. As Maxthon, I think very good, not forced, just to remind, much better than some rogue software!
鈶?download license number, only the first two are valid for 6 months and then is permanently effective. If you 2006-07-25 downloaded the license to be updated to 2007-01-25, to 2007-07-25 updated, has been effective. Updated every six months if you leave all that trouble, that can only be forgiven for the plug-ins bundled rogue.
Misunderstanding number three: the interface is too weird
This was nothing to explain, which is its unique, powerful features is the basis on which. Shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Screenshot Captor's main interface
Simple experience
Once started, right-click the tray icon, click the Grab Screenshot of windows object or scrolling window, (or press its corresponding hotkey - hotkey can be customized), when your mouse through the window, it will identify and pop-up tips (Figure 3), that is the object size is 998 * 647, then, ctrl + click to capture the current window, ctrl + shift + click on the scroll capture, shift + click on the area to capture. Facilitate it, let alone can scroll! (Note: This area should be improved, first, the process of flashing screen shots, second, and sometimes can not scroll)
Figure 3 Screenshot Captor screenshot
Well, you pick a click way, then, to see this picture appeared in the Screenshot Captor editing window.
Drag the slider to the right of first look article, click on the top of the zoom area - zoom in on so convenient.
Add a border for the picture before it, click () button to bring up a dialog box (Figure 4). Think of it, a border there so many. Not understand it does not matter, try on the line, not satisfied, simply ctrl + z. What, too much trouble, you direct Ctrl + B, a black frame on the added.
Figure 4 with Screenshot Captor add borders to pictures
Then add an arrow to a picture, click () button, the same, there have been such a versatile interface (Figure 5): from the top were transparent (can be directly entered, click the up and down controls, pop-up slider), shadow, color, width, start and end arrow heart arrow color, arrow size, endnotes, text, endnotes, text-foot-inch rain.
Figure 5 Screenshot Captor to add a picture with the arrow
You can see from the above, Screenshot Captor feature is that you are given the freedom to control every detail.
Other tools, limited to text, your own research. Be noted that the character can not be directly marked, the solution introduces another article.
Then show what its configuration, see the drawing of a tab, you know how strong the individual. Only after the file name as an example screenshot: I have specified (Figure 6) to the closing of the window title + serial number as the file name, so that the cut on my home page picture is automatically named "best use of soft _ Excellent Free Software - Best use of soft - Sina BLOG - Maxthon Browser_001.png ", and convenient, right? There will be scavenging for comment after the information, records screenshots of the process, time and other information. I have never seen such other software can be personalized. This is just an example only, it also has eight tabs of the configuration so the reader does!
Figure 6 Screenshot Captor settings
Conclusion: It's functional too many, say an article is absolutely endless. The purpose of this is to let everyone know it, understand it (a strong, free). If you think it is good, please also write down your ideas so that more people benefit. To the comments made here, or to the home page after the message the Chinese translation.
Annex: Screenshot Captor of Mouse greetings from the United States.
Greetings from America!
I''m very honored to have Screenshot Captor written about and I want to express my appreciation to xbeta for taking the time to write about it. I''m glad to know that more Chinese people will have a chance to discover our program, and we are happy to be able reach such a large audience of users.
xbeta has explained that our programs are free but can require a little bit of effort to download a free license key. We do this so that we can encourage people who can afford to donate to do so, but it is not mandatory. We welcome everyone to use our program wether they donate or not. We hope that our programs will make it possible for people who cannot afford to buy expensive software can still have the best programs while respecting copyright and legal issues.
If you have trouble signing up at our forum to get a free license key, please do reach out to someone (eg. xbeta) who can speak both Chinese and English for help in navigating our website which can be confusing even to English native speakers: ) We hope to have a Chinese translated version of the program sometime this year - we have already localized one of our programs (URL Snooper) so we know the process involved, and it''s not too difficult. Chinese users might also want to try a program of ours calls Unicode Image Maker to make it easier to create text boxes with non-english text, both in Screenshot Captor and other programs that don''t support Chinese natively. We are happy to help when we can so feel free to contact us or visit our forum and make suggestions for ways we can improve the program.
Sincerely,
mouser of donationcoder.com (mouser@donationcoder.com) 2006-07-27
