If Windows' built-in screen-capture abilities satisfy you, you probably haven't tried HyperSnap-DX. With this professional utility, you can capture images you never could have before. For instance, you can grab only a button image, whether active or inactive, with or without the mouse pointer showing. The application also lets you nab stills from a video game while you're playing, or create a how-to slide show by capturing active regions at a constant size. The Capture menu lists all the keyboard shortcuts for available actions, and the help file tells you what those actions do. If you choose the wrong action, the built-in tools let you edit your screengrab. The trial version stamps all images with ads for the software, but you should be able to quickly figure out whether this program is one you want to pay for.
HyperSnap-DX is a screen-capture and image-editing tool for Windows. It captures screens from standard desktop programs and hard-to-grab DirectX, Direct3D, and Glide mode games. It can capture more than is visible on the screen with auto-scroll technology. Advanced captures include multiple screen regions, freehand-drawn shapes, and buttons. It automates tasks such as file-saving, printing, FTP uploading, image stamping, adding frames, and dropping shadows. The program integrates with the Windows clipboard and has painting and editing features. New in version 5.40.04: irregular shape shadows, torn edges, improved auto-scroll, more.
