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 fast and easy way to take screen captures from Windows. It combines the power of a first-class screen-capturing application with an advanced image-editing utility. It's perfect for capturing images you want to include in your help system, online tutorials, manuals, training handouts, presentations, marketing materials, Web pages, and e-mails. Use it to quickly share a picture-perfect representation of anything on your screen. The program is versatile and easy to use. You can quickly customize menus and toolbars, assign your own keyboard shortcuts, create instant toolbars, and even control the program with voice commands.
Version 5.6.03 captures correct cursors over command-prompt (MS-DOS) windows and corrects a minor problem with the transparency of autoinserted stamps.
