Some tools of the trade for layout makers, coders, designers, yada yada
yada...if you play with graphics and or coding then you'll probably find
a few goodies here that'll hopefully become as useful for you as they
have been for me. I use the majority of these nearly everyday and thought
it would be nice to share them as they do come in very handy in many many
ways. From extreme time savers to extremely useful applications to peace
of mind when browsing the dark and murky waters of unchartered territory
on the web. Oh...and the best part, it's all free!!!
I've downloaded literally hundreds of freeware programs / utilities /
add-ons / plug-ins / extentions...the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'll
be sharing the good with you.
Screen Capture Utilities/Plug-ins
MWSnap ~ Freeware, Screen Capture Utility Software. *Windows OS only*
An absolute fav of mine for quite a while now, this program allows you
to snap shots of the entire desktop, a fixed area (you input the dimensions
in pixels), or of any area...all of which can be done to anything that
you see on your screen. The 'fixed area' feature is great for screen capping
images for making contact tables and contact buttons, extended network
banners, default pics, signatures, comment tags, etc. Since resizing your
windows when viewing any image (My Documents > My Pictures) naturally
resizes the image you're viewing this is also excellent for a quick resizing
of an image/graphic. Just resize the window to get the size your looking
for and snap the pic. Also has a ruler that really comes in handy when
measuring anything on you screen that stays on top of other open windows.
*Windows OS only*

Pearlcresent Pagesaver ~ Free add on/plug-in for Firefox. Allows you
to snap a screen cap of webpages, the visible portion or of the entire
page from top to bottom excluding your browser and taskbar from the saved
image. Great for taking screen shots of layouts before submitting them
on Skem9. *there is a freeware version as well as a Pro version for sale*
