Nice interaction but capture is lossy
I really like the basic interaction and I mostly use it to send captures directly to photoshop in fewer steps than with apple capture. My issue is that the captures arrive in photoshop with compression artifacts that make it difficult to use them in comps. Apple’s capture utility gives me a much cleaner result.
I would love to see the ability to capture the contents of a scrolling browser window - snagit will do this but the interaction is clunky and unreliable.
I also like the promise of this being extensible and scriptable. Perhaps the previous point could be addressed through a script? If so, I hope someone will share one :-)
On the whole, its a nice app but unfortunately the compression artifacting makes it unusable for my most common tasks. Hopefully an option will be created to allow for a lossless capture and then I can up my rating.
My usage may not be typical - if you are mostly using screenshots for documentation, Dreamshot will likely meet your needs very gracefully.
