What is new in WinSnap 2.0

The new version 2.0 contains a number of innovative features that enable far superior screenshots and even easier working methods.

Aero Glass capture with shadows and transparencies

WinSnap v2.0 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. There is one PNG image with alpha transparency placed on 2 different backgrounds:

Vista window corners problem
Light background
Vista Dialog problem
Dark background

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.
