Screenshot Plus for OS X: Make screenshots with ease

It's no secret that to make a screenshot on a Mac is much easier than on the same Windows. Full screen or a separate window - it does not matter, the main thing - to remember keyboard shortcuts, responsible for each action. Then users who just switched to the operating system from Apple, usually start to get confused. But it does not matter. This problem can solve a simple utility called Screenshot Plus.

Not only keyboard shortcuts that are difficult to remember, inconvenient standard feature of OS X. Often, there are moments when you need to make a screenshot is not "here and now", rather than, say, 5 seconds. But before that you need to perform some operation (for example, to run a process in the program, a picture that you want). I'm talking about the possibility of the so-called "deferred" picture. Screenshot Plus, to my joy, is able to do that.

Initially, the tool, which will be in your top menu bar, four different available process for screen capture: Full screen, deferred, window capture and Drag Images. With the first all is clear - the usual screenshot of your entire workspace. The second does the same thing, but only after 10 seconds. Window capture, as in the standard utility OS X, will make you a snapshot of only a specific application window or Finder`a. And under the strange phrase "drag the image" hides nothing else, as the allocation of the required field you for taking screenshots directly from it.

On each of the processes you have the opportunity to appoint convenient for you shortcuts and specify actions that do to get shots. You can designate a folder to save it (if not, the picture will not be saved anywhere), assign an application, which will open a screenshot after its creation (it could be any program installed on your Mac), and specify to copy a screenshot to the clipboard, or not.

Naturally, in order not to produce the pile of pictures with the same name, you can set specific settings for the names of each of your image, assigning a standard name the date, time, size, aspect ratio and wide with height. Conveniently adjusting the name, you will not get stuck in the monotony of pictures you have taken.

In Screenshot Plus settings it is possible to specify a sound when shooting, autostart applications with the launch of the system, display the cursor on the image, the shadow of the windows, as well as the interval for the process delayed shooting. Why this option can not be added in the editor processes - a mystery.

In general, the application replicates a large enough part of the standard features screenshots from the system. Nevertheless delayed shooting, the appointment of its shortcuts, and the ability to set a specific program for the opening shots are very often badly needed. And in this case, Screenshot Plus you will be a good helper.
