A super screen annotator tip

Thomas Holm — Fri, 18 Feb 2005 10:45:28 GMT

I'm usually not into doing promos like this, but this time I have to tell you about it: I just found - and bought - the best and most creative screen dump program I've ever seen:
- you create a blank window over anything on the desktop, be it Archicad, Word, Plotmaker, photoshop or a Finder window
- you make it transparent to see what you're doing
- you annotate it, draw, mark-up, write right there on the fly
- you click a camera button to catch the background
- you save it, in a number of formats, even pdf, directly

Much faster than my current workflow, using a plain screen grabber to save and open in Photoshop or whatever to annotate.

Try it out!

(I don't regard this as an ad - I don't get paid, instead I paid for the program. I just found it unusually simple, creative and helpful! - I think even Djordje would agree, if he had a Mac 😉

Is this a joke or are you going to let anyone know the name of this program?

Oh, s...t! I realise I forgot both the name and the link. Sorry!

So simple, and so useful. The only thing lacking is a direct save as GIF option. But Graphic Converter takes care of that, if necessary.
