WinSnap is an enhancement software designed to take screenshots and edit them.

Standard features include easy capture of non-rectangular windows with customized and transparent backgrounds, coloring effects, simple and automatic canvas transformations and the addition of eye-candy drop shadows. WinSnap supports a variety of graphic formats and has advanced auto-save features.

Aero Glass capture with shadows and transparencies
WinSnap was especially designed for capturing the new Windows Vista UI. It can handle all possible issues with translucent window frames and rounded corners. WinSnap can draw a drop shadow effect that is very similar to the Aero theme.

Alpha-Channel and PNG transparency support
Now shadows are semi-transparent! This function allows very easy image compositing, and is particularly useful when placing screenshots on multi-color backgrounds.

Unique Multi-Object capture mode
WinSnap v2.0 allows you to simultaneously select and capture multiple objects (e.g. windows, dialogs, buttons and controls). A few windows can be placed on the screen and easily combined into one screenshot image.

Work faster with configurable External Tools
You can quickly open screenshots in your favorite image editor using the Tools menu or shortcut keys. This feature also allows you to automatically save images into different directories and in different formats.

· Region fixed-size capture mode
· New file auto-naming options
· Quick-Print shortcut key

Limitations:
