FastStone -自由窗口屏幕俘获软件

张贴在2008年6月9日在5:11上午

As someone frequently called on to create training manuals and how-to guides, I am constantly on the lookout for anything which makes that job easier. 屏幕俘获和能力编辑他们以注释和聚焦,是关键的到工作。 我非常成功地使用了断枝它。

然而,我遇到了最盖子同一疆土为Windows XP和景色用户的免费软件公共事业。 如此,系统admins和技术教练员采取笔记: FastStone捕获v5.3 不仅使它容易采取屏幕快照的各种各样的类型,它也包括得心应手的编辑和注释工具。 并且最佳所有, FastStone 5.3是自由的。

FastStone的最新版本有成为的共享软件而不是免费软件。 但特点包装v5.3和仍然自由地可利用。 特点包括:

  • 资源友好-用途非常小量的记忆,特别是当减到最小到窗口盘子区域时
  • 任何时候激活节目的捕获能力的全球性hotkeys,任何地方
  • 夺取窗口的高效率的工具,对象,整个银幕,长方形或徒手画选择的地区和卷动区域
  • 指定目的地的选择(内部编辑、剪贴板、文件或者打印机)将送的地方被夺取的图象
  • 文本或Arrowed线或聚焦或水印注释
  • 下落阴影,撕毁边缘作用
  • 增加说明

特点我多数用途是:

  • 捕获卷动屏幕
  • 射击屏幕俘获在一用户指定时延(需要设置菜单下落)
  • 编辑通过播种,画,突出,附注和突出没有进入一位分开的编辑
  • 设置一块文件名模板为每个项目

有吨另外的特点包括祈求屏幕俘获的不同的类型的灵活映射热钥匙。

开始,下载FastStone v5.3和安装它对您的XP或景色工作站。 提出设置窗口并且回顾缺省。 您共同地将想要改变被突出的组分,并且,一旦您成为专家您能扭捏,和您喜欢一样多。

我创造分开的产品文件夹每个我研究的项目。 我也设置文件名模板到从项目名字开始的事。 我通常使用:

ProjectName_$H$N

This gives me files that are timestamped and also identified with the project name. Since these files inevitably are moved out of my project folder during the publication process I find it useful to put the project name in the filename not just the folder.

Once you’ve reviewed and adjusted basic settings, you can bring up the floating capture window (below) – or you can leave the app in your system tray and use the hot-keys when you need to capture. I like to keep the window floating because I have trouble remembering hot-keys. But, the app does use less memory if you leave it in the system tray. I don’t find it a hog even when running as the floating window.

The floating tool palette includes six capture presets: Active window, window or object, capture rectangle, capture freehand region, full screen,and scrolling window. The palette icon brings up a list of output options. The one I often use is output to the built-in Editor in order to crop, trim, highlight, caption or add annotations.

The built-in editor has numerous features. Cropping, resizing are simple. The drawing features take a little more practice but are well worth the effort to become familiar with them.

The toolbar includes all the basic features with the exception that the text tool is found within the Draw sub-menu. But cropping, resizing and effects such as edge blurs are found right at the top-level.

Fewer options are available than in Snag-It, but you can set font, color, size as well as arrows, highlights, and shadow effects. The main drawback is that once text or arrows are added and the new file is saved, the text or arrows can now longer be edited or even deleted. You need to start from the unedited screen cap. But that’s a quibble with a freeware app this powerful.

    This is not freeware. The license text that you read before installing says that it will work for 30 days and then you must pay the license fee.


  6. P said on :

    Sorry. The newest release is shareware. The 5.3 version is free.
