Introduction
============

Windows Snapshot Maker (shortly WinSnap) is a small enhancement utility for 
taking and editing screenshots. It automates all manual work and handle 
technical issues that previously you might perform only with Photoshop or other 
image editors. Initially, WinSnap was designed simply to take snapshots of 
non-rectangular windows, such as windows with XP visual styles, skinned media 
players, etc. Now it is supplemented with professional smoothing shadows, 
coloring effects, canvas transformations, ability to automatically save images 
in various image formats and more. WinSnap can help you easily make small 
thumbnail previews and full-sized screenshots for your web blog and home page, 
visualize technical and educational materials, send reduced-size images through 
e-mail. You will perform professional screenshots immediatelly with one click!

download GDI+ from Microsoft Download Center (http://download.microsoft.com/).
