With PicPick Editor you can do things like crop images, rotate images, add effects, adjust image properties (brightness, hue, saturation, etc.), annotate images with arrows, place arrows and text on your images, and even put comic book balloons on your images. The menu selections have a similar feel to Microsoft Office 2007 and very easy to maneuver with whatever you need to do with your photos. It is so easy to use it can make anyone into an editing wizard. PicPick Editor is a neat little image editor that can used to edit screenshots you take with PicPick or any images you have saved on your computer. If you don’t want to send screenshots to the PicPick Editor, you can make PicPick send screenshots else where: Regardless of how you take a screenshot, once you snap a screenshot it automatically gets sent to the PicPick Editor from where you can edit the screenshot and save it. If you don’t like the system tray icon or hotkeys method, you can use a the floating widget Capture Bar instead: If you prefer to use hotkeys, each type of screenshot has a hotkey assigned to it (hotkeys are customizable from Program Options -> HotKeys). Taking screenshots is as easy as right-clicking PicPick’s system tray icon, selecting the type of screenshot you want… This function will not even highlight for you to do the last capture. The only function it doesn’t work with is Freehand.
Repeat Last Capture: This function will repeat the exact same thing you captured last.You still get that, but the image is something you’ve never seen before. As with most images they are in a four corner shape. Similar to Region you draw the area you want, but this time you are drawing the region like the tool is called by freehand. Freehand: This screenshot is one of the most unique of options.If you don’t have the proper size, you can always resize it later in the program. Fixed Region: Like region you capture part of what you want, but you have to set the pixel size to what you want to capture.Region: With this tool you see cross hairs that all you need to do is draw your own box to capture part of what you want to capture.Scrolling Window: It will show you a box, but if there’s a window on top of what you are selecting it will select what is in the background with what is in the foreground within that same box selection.It could be a desktop icon or an entire window. Window Control: This one will put a box around anything you put your mouse on and take a screenshot of that.Active Window: When you select this, the program tells you to press Alt + Print Screen to take a screenshot of the program window you are in and ignore the rest.
In addition to being able to take screenshots, PicPick has other useful features.
Calling PicPick a graphic design tool may be stretching the truth a little bit, but the point of the developer is to say PicPick is not your average screenshot tool. PicPick is described by the developer as “an all-in-one program” for “graphic design”. If you were turned off by Screenshot Captor’s learning curve but still desire an excellent screenshotting tool, then PicPick may be for you. Yesterday Jeremy posted about Screenshot Captor, a feature-filled screenshot tool.
