HyperSnap (formerly SnapShot/32) brings professional quality,
convenient Windows 95 and NT screen captures to your finger-tips.
It was designed for ease of use, with powerful and useful
features to aid the professional as well as support the needs of
the occasional user. Use it just a few times - you'll find it to
be indispensable.
HyperSnap (SnapShot/32) was selected by Siemens Nixdorf as a
standard software component distributed with their powerful
CELSIUS personal workstations! Read more about this in our help
file.
Some of the more impressive features are listed here; this
is but a partial list. Current users will want to see the list
of new features in the Changes area at the end of this file.
The best way to get to know HyperSnap is to simply use it!
Save your image as a BMP, GIF, or JPEG file. GIFs can
optionally be interlaced and include transparent backgrounds,
and HyperSnap can create progressive JPEGs, perfect for
World Wide Web page use. Choose your color depth for BMP
captures, too.
Web and Help File Authors, don't miss what HyperSnap can
do for you!
-GIF images can be saved as interlaced files, with transparent
backgrounds, and three levels of color reduction.
-JPEGs have save options for a user-defined percentage of
output quality, and the "fade-in" format.
-The Quick Save feature is a lifesaver -- just keep on making
those captures, without interruption. HyperSnap saves them
each to an individual, sequentially named GIF or JPEG file,
in the custom format you choose, for your later use.
-Include the cursor image in your Web Page or Help File image
to better display your product shot or call attention to a
specific item.
-The Window capture feature makes my day. The feature captures
whole windows and sections of windows that are automatically
highlighted, even little buttons, without squinting at the
screen to make sure you get every pixel of the edge of a cap-
ture target. A definite eye-saver.
-The built-in Crop feature is great for making final edits to
your capture without transferring it to another program. And
thankfully, there's an Undo Crop feature to mitigate the
"oops!" factor.
-New feature allows SCROLLING AND SIMULTANEOUS CAPTURE OF ENTIRE
WINDOW AREA not shown on screen! Perfect for capturing entire
WEB pages and printing them including background images!
Choose your own HotKeys that quickly capture the entire
Desktop, any Rectangle you outline, or the highlighted Window
or Client, and automatically repeat the capture every x seconds
or by using another HotKey.
Automatically save each of your captures to a file by default
-- you can even trigger new captures every x seconds and have
the filename incremented.
Print your capture direct from HyperSnap -- it will expand the
image to the size of the paper and margins that you set, and
even add a frame, reverse, or reduce the output to black and
white!
Drag and Drop BMP, GIF, and JPEG files on HyperSnap to open
them!
For complete information on all that HyperSnap brings to
you, open the help file (SNAP32.HLP) for a screen image
that provides an instant overview of its many features and
functions. Yes, HyperSnap's help file graphics were captured using
HyperSnap!
They said...
------------
"I just tried out your screen capture program. Easy to
configure, easy to use. Very well done!!! Congratulations.
It's the best I've seen to date."
"Just downloaded and took a quick look, If Snapshot works as
well as I think it will, this will save me tons of time
documenting an Access app I'm working on. Definitely cool,
especially the ability to grab the client window with a
single keystroke! If it works OK on my NT machine (3.51
retail build), you can expect a registration check!!" (it
did, of course, and we got our check.)
"I've had no problems with capturing the PowerPoint cursors.
This is great, most of the other utilities that I've tried
haven't been able to do this."
"Like the product, great for anyone who needs to hammer home
their point with a screen print!"
"Finally a program I can use to capture screens on the Net!"
"I'm a telcommunications engineer for the Canadian
government. Your product was just what I was looking for
when creating manual for my users."
"Thanks Greg, Really cool, simple to use, come in handy
kinda program. I appreciate the quick response with
registration number."
"In all my years of Help File authoring I never did use
a dedicated screen capture program. SnapShot/32 (HyperSnap)
changed that --I use it all the time and it save me tons of
time."
We're ready and waiting for your comments!

for the target folder, where HyperSnap files will be installed.
A HyperSnap group (menu) will be created in your Windows 95 Start
menu, together with an "Uninstall" icon that will completely
remove HyperSnap if necessary.
If the uninstall script file (UnHySnap.bat in your Windows
directory) was accidently deleted, you may still completely
uninstall HyperSnap by running:
snap32 -uninstall
and then deleting its files and directory manually. To recreate
HyperSnap menu under Windows 95 "Start" button you may run
again HySnap.exe, if you saved it, or just run:
snap32 -install
and enter the same directory where HyperSnap is already
installed.
