Just like a carpenter or a motor mechanic or a dentist need their trade tools to be able to do an effective job, everyone using a pc or desktop and accessing the internet to perform their ‘trade’, also needs the correct tools.
In today’s high pressure world where everything must happen at a fast and furious pace, handing tools that save time, are essential.
Capture, Annotate and Share.
One such convenient add-on is Awesome Screenshots. Originally designed for use in Google’s Chrome browser, but Firefox and Safari versions are also available to download. This neat little tool is ideal for anything from setting up a how-to-guide for a customer, or training manuals for staff, or share webshots or reference portions of a web article etc.
Here’s How:
1. Install the app in Chrome Extensions menu or download from awesomescreenshot.com.
2. See the new lens icon in your toolbar.
When you are on a webpage, click this icon which gives you the option to:
- Capture Visible Part of Page
- Capture Selected Area
- Capture Entire Page
Choosing Capture Visible Part of Page will capture only what you can see on your screen in the browser.
Choosing Capture Selected Area will give you a section tool (‘+’) to drag and cut out the area you want to capture. Choosing Capture Entire Page will give you a Capturing Notification while the pages scrolls down.
Once the capture is processed, which only takes a moment, a new tab opens with tools to annotate your screenshot.
With this toolbar you can crop, add arrows, circle and even blur a section of the screenshot, just like in the example image above.
Click Done to continue…
Once you have clicked the done button an options screen gives you different options of saving or copying the screenshot.
Sharing
To share the screenshot, one click uploads it to awesomescreenshot.com and you get a shareable link that can be shared via Twitter, Facebook, Email etc.
