"Ashampoo Magical Snap"

Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Version reviewed: Ashampoo Magical Snap 2.3

Windows can capture screen contents for you, but dedicated applications simplify the process. Ashampoo Magical Snap takes snapshots of specific areas of the screen, saving the resulting image as a PNG, BMP, or JPEG file. The unusual interface, which launches when you mouse over tiny bars at the edge of the screen, is a matter of taste. Once you turn off the helpful wizard windows, capturing multiple screenshots progresses smoothly. The program does not capture portions of documents that scroll off the screen, but it can capture menus and video stills. The editing features let you annotate the screengrab with text, highlight effects, and arrows. You can even select part of an image and pixelate it into illegibility. You can extend the 10-day trial by registering at the company's site, but the original trial period should be long enough to decide whether you like the product. Ashampoo Magical Snap is a decent tool for people whose jobs involve taking lots of screenshots.

"This is the sh-t!!!"

by sheba94601 on December 12, 2007

Pros: unbelievable! this is too kooL for me, lol. I read "bigfeo's" review & said to myself it's on, being a constant user of print screen also. The tutorial & side bars is right on time & the effects is sic to the bone! Wait till my friends see this. Print screen comes w/ several photo editing programs but my pc always acts up after using them, not w/ Magical Snap tho. It even makes a file for us to save everything, matter of fact it does everything for us w/ a few easy clicks! Their Anti Spyware 2 tops it off too. Amazingly good products!
