While taking screenshots is something that can be easily done within Windows, cutting, editing, enhancing, and sharing or saving those captures is not something your OS is prepared for. Gadwin PrintScreen Professional covers the entire process, from a flexible screen capture process (mouse cursor included, if desired) to a comprehensive customization and editing of the image, including watermarks and annotation tools.
The program comprises various tools or sections, each with a different interface. The first interface the program opens when launched is a tiny yet attractive widget in the shape of a control wheel designed to help you make quick selections of the actions you want the program to perform. Its small size and sometimes cryptic icons don’t make it really intuitive, but once you manage to find out what every little button does, it becomes a truly useful way to control your screen captures. Alternatively, you can use hot-keys to take one-click screenshots of the entire screen, a selected window, or a custom area.
The tool provides ample room for customization, especially when it comes to hot-keys, the image itself, and the post-capture actions. All of these settings are located in a different interface that also includes some general preferences. Here you can choose to show or hide the mouse cursor, resize the captured image, add a shadow and/or a watermark to it, and even convert it into grayscale without waiting for the image editor to pop up. You may also want to customize the default hot-keys and even add your own or deleted the ones you don’t need anymore. As for the post-capture actions, these refer to the image file format used, the naming of the captures, sharing them via e-mail, printing them out, or performing a custom action of your choice.
And then we arrive to the program’s most impressive feature – its full-featured image editor. This third interface resembles that of a professional image-editing tool, and actually it has enough features and functions to be treated as such. Here you can cut, resize, crop, rotate, copy, paste, etc., your latest screen capture to fit your specific needs. But apart from that, you can also add annotations to it – you can highlight certain areas, add text (with or without a bubble), correct or improve the image’s light-related settings, add effects to them (from blur to sepia or grayscale), and a number of other enhancing tools and functions that will make you forget of the old and limited Windows PrintScreen plus Paint option.
Gadwin PrintScreen Professional does include features and utilities that only professional editors include. If you add to it a versatile screen capture tool that you can customize to match all your requirements, you end up with a high-end application that will surely cover in one single package all your screen capture needs.
