JO*  I recently bought this and quite like the little app. Works as advertised and is a dependable little helper.

However, there are two things I'd ask the dev to work on:

1. Make it a little quicker. Sometimes up to 5 seconds elapse until the "Save as" window pops up.

2. Make it work with Default Folder X.

Other than that perfect little app that deserves a 5 star rating.  
(Version 1.1)

DRDUL  This is a potentially useful app, but it needs a few more features to make it easy to use:

- The Sharpshooter window should remember its size. Currently, the window opens too small to see the screenshot clearly, which is necessary when trying to distinguish between multiple similar-looking screenshots.

- A "zoom in" button to enlarge screenshots to 100% without enlarging the window would be useful, along with a hand tool to slide the image around in the window. A corresponding "zoom out" button would restore the image to a size that fits the window.

- If a Sharpshooter window is already open, then subsequent screenshots should appear within the same window, perhaps accompanied by a display of thumbnails to move from one image to another.

- It would be nice to be able to specify a number of favorite folders that would be available in the dropdown menu when choosing a location to save the screenshot.

MACTECHHEAD  I gave this tool a solid 5 star rating below but after playing with it for a few hours I have one giant glaring problem with it.

There is no option to change the compression settings for certain file types like JPEG. This is one feature that seems to have been omitted from this otherwise handy tool. Without the ability to choose low quality, medium quality or high quality output files, I really don't have any use for this handy tool. If I have to manually convert each screen snapshot then this tool really won't save me any time in the least bit.

I emailed the developer about this suggestion as well.   
(Version 1.1b1)

MACTECHHEAD  Very, very, very handy little tool. Just tried it for the first time today and already in love with it.

A keeper in my books and Snow Leopard ready too before it's even released.

Great job!  
(Version 1.1b1)

STEVEN GOODHEART  I'm so glad this is Snow Leopard ready -- I'd hate to think of using Snow Leopard without it. Sharpshooter is one of my most used utilities, and one of the best $15 dollars I've ever spent on shareware. I've never, ever had a problem with it, and it's saved me hours of time and frustration since I began using it. Couldn't recommend more highly!

ROXZILLA  Thanks again Isaac! I can now resume screenshots with ease in Snow Leopard!

JIMW  After using the program for a while and reevaluating some of the fee features available, along with its stability the product and support has changed my mind in regard to my previous comments about its fee.

First of all there is not definitive reason to pay for this program. The fee based features can mostly be worked around with feature setting utilities such as Onyx and saving a screenshot to the desktop is the default Apple setting. This program can hold its own quite well against its competitors in its free format.

That said I slowly realized that its fee based features could significantly save me time and annoyance when trying to import screenshot images to various programs. That fact, along with being able to dump the screenshots into my downloads folder eliminating desktop clutter convinced me to 'bite the bullet' and get a license.

Since I try to avoid PayPal at all costs, and this was the only listed method of payment, I emailed the developer both to avoid the use of PayPal and to test out product support. I was most impressed with the response and attitude of the developer. He did his best to accommodate me, inquired with serious interest in alternatives I use with other sites, and promptly followed up with my license when payment arrangements were concluded. I simply could not ask for better support.

The program has a simple, clean and well laid out interface, It is easy to use and has never created any problems for me.

Sometimes the quality of the product is the best marketing tool for a product. This is the case for Sharpshooter. One of my personal values is to take ownership for my actions. In this case my previous comments were premature and I have no problem in stating they were wrong about this product. Given the convenience of its fee based features, and the support offered for the product it is worth the shareware fee. As such I now highly recommend the product, both in its freeware and shareware configurations.   
(Version 1.0.2)

JIMW  This is a great product as free or donationware. but not worth $15 ($12 for the next 3 days) for the average users,Thanks but no thanks for the few screenshots I do every month, I would rather spend the $15 on family entertainment than on this program.   
(Version 1.0.2)

STRIDER72  This just stopped working -- i don't know why.

When I first had this it worked great -- a real knockout program. Now, it doesn't do anything. It runs -- it's there in the menu -- but when I do a screenshot Sharpshooter doesn't do anything.

I would love this program if it worked as it used to....

NEANISKOS  This little app is fantastic! If it would have the possibility to specify the location where the screenshots are saved, it would be perfect.
