If you don’t want to, or can’t use the ShareX tool for some reason, you can still access the region select screenshot method utilizing the Windows Snipping tool. Still, much better than having to go in and manually crop each and every image in GIMP from some massive image of all three of my monitors with the default screen capture behavior… Advertisements The Windows Snipping tool – A Basic ShareX alternative for Windows 7 and 8.1 If over 100kb, bring it into GIMP and convert to jpeg at 80% quality. So, My workflow consists of Snap a pic, check the file size, if under 100kb, leave it as a png. As to why there is a page budget? Well, you guys on metered connections would sure appreciate websites not gobbling your data away… Oh, and slow 3G connections? A Nightmare for high resolution, hyper bloated pictures. The same exact file converted to jpeg at 80% quality could be merely 35kb – a whopping 1248% difference in size.įor a website, this is important, as every kb of data that images need is one less kb you have for your page budget of 600kb.
For some images, this can result in a huge file size of 500kb or more. If there is a single caveat to this program, it is that you can’t choose the file quality on saving.
I don’t use this feature, because the folder that I save my images to are already linked to Amazon Photos, and I like to have a Local backup handy, so this is redundant for my particular folder hierarchy. I think one of the cooler things though, is that you can also upload the image to a cloud service and delete the local copy to save space.
Additionally, the cropping tool is handy at times, though I rarely use the rest of the tools. The built-in image editor in this software is pretty useful for a few reasons – Its box tool and arrow tools are super easy to use. Here is what my After Capture tasks are set to: That’s right, this program will automatically execute specific instructions in a sequence, like a specially designed macro, just for you.Īnd there is zero programming involved to do it – Simply expand the “After Capture Tasks” button in the ShareX menu, and click on all of the things you would like to do with it. This program is designed to automate a task sequence upon taking a screenshot.
