DESCRIPTION
Once Snapz Pro X is installed, a single keystroke can immediately save anything visible on screen in a wide variety of image file formats. Using Snapz Pro X, you don't have to tell people about how cool a game is or how to use a particular program -- you can just take a picture or movie of it and show them. Snapz Pro X supports saving screen images as .bmp, .pict, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .pdf, or Photoshop files, and can even record the action as a QuickTime movie!
Screenshots can be scaled, cropped, color depth-changed, and dithereded. Snapz Pro X can also add borders, generate automatic thumbnails, overlay watermarks/copyright notices... you name it, we got it! Snapz Pro wasn't just ported to Mac OS X, it was rewritten from the ground up to use the exciting new technologies that Mac OS X has to offer. Support for these cool new features permeates Snapz Pro X like genetic superiority in a thoroughbred: long file names, automatic preview icons on image files, Unicode/international support, and bullet-proof operation are just a few of the pleasantries you will enjoy.

STORMCHILD Yup. It still won't even save screenshots with *no* custom icon. If you disable icon previews, it simply sets a generic document icon as the custom icon instead -- meaning the automatic icon preview feature added *years* ago in TIGER (!) still doesn't work until you manually remove the custom icon from every file. I've complained about the problem on the web, in emails sent directly to Ambrosia, and on the official Ambrosia forum, and the fact is, they just don't care and are too lazy to bother fixing it. More and more, I simply use the built-in screenshot capabilities of OS X. I only use Snapz when I need to select a specific aspect ratio, or want to capture the entire screen (I have a second monitor, and the built-in OS X screenshot insists on capturing both when I usually only want one). This tool feels like it's on life support. It never really improves; it just gets the bare minimum amount of maintenance. If it was already perfect, that would be fine, but in reality, there are many outstanding issues that are never resolved, which is rather frustrating from a user's point of view.

KATHY VETTER I love Snapz Pro X, but I am getting a ghost cursor (two cursors) when grabbing a movie of my Web page on a MacBook Pro. I can't figure out how to get rid of the ghost cursor. Can anybody help?

MACSOLU SIGNIFICANTLY slower than previous version I tried (2.1.2) -- there's a several-seconds delay before the palette appears after I type in command-shift-3 or invoke Snapz Pro from the Dock. Earlier version (2.1.2) appeared almost instantly. YMMV.

CORPSECORPS Has been a handy and much used piece of software for a long time, but still suffers from a few issues which i've always found HIGHLY annoying: • Has to share activation short-cut key with the system, preventing use of the system capture without quitting the Snapz process via Terminal or Activity Monitor. • Always adds an unnecessary resource fork to images, which defeats Leopard's automatic "Icon Preview" so i have to use a context menu add-on to strip it for EVERY capture! • LACKS a feature for allowing an "instant" screen shot without UI, interaction, making it impossible to get shots of full-screen The 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 added nothing i use enough to make much difference to me. Fixes for the above 3 snags would have made it 5 stars straight across.

MISTERSQUID This is the first time in years that installing an update to Snapz Pro X has not required me to activate/authenticate the program after installation. As someone with more licenses to more pieces of software than I can keep track of--which leads to an unavoidably unpredictable upgrade schedule--I cannot express how grateful I am not to have to activate my upgrades. I don't know if this is because I've recently upgraded or because of a change in the installation process but all I can say is MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!!! I say this even with (especially with) someone with licenses for competing software.

TIM LAWSON I've been using SnapzPro for years and it's superb in use in every way. Although I'm sure this release launches much faster than the previous one, it does appear to have one glitch for which I've just submitted a ticket to the support guys at Ambrosia and which reads: "I just upgraded to version 2.1.4 If I check the 'Check for new versions at launch' option in Preferences then, on the subsequent launch I see a dialog that tells me that there's a new version available (2.1.4) with buttons that enable me to "Go to website" or "Cancel" and a list of "What's new". However, the about box tells me I'm running the new version 2.1.4! I also note that when I go back into preferences, the 'Check for new version at launch' box is now unchecked and so, of course, I don't see the dialog described above again unless I re-check it. | |

TIM LAWSON I'm happy to report a very fast response from the developers, to whom thanks: "Sorry for your frustration. One of the images placed online was goofed and has since been corrected (it's still labeled at 2.1.4). If you run the uninstaller, then download again from and install you should be okay." | |
