Tools of the Trade Pg.1

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*
