• Drag Snap 1.1.4 (System 7 required) onto your System Folder, or into the Extensions folder.
FEATURES
• Snap allows you to take a black & white or color "snapshot" of a selected area of your monitors (even spanning them) and place the resulting 'PICT' on the Clipboard.
• Snap provides an audio and visual feedback as to the area selected.
USAGE
• During startup, the Snap icon will appear in the "icon march" across the bottom of the main monitor to indicate that it is on.
• To disable Snap without moving it out of the Extensions folder, just hold down the option key during start up. The Snap icon will appear with an "X" through it indicating that Snap is off.
• To see the on-line Balloon Help, select the Show Balloons command under the "Help" menu and point to the Snap icon.
• To take a snapshot, simply select FKEY 4 (command-shift-4.) You will be presented a crosshair cursor. Now, you can either…
Click the mouse once to abort, or
Click and drag the cursor to define a “snapshot frame”
• If a “snapshot frame” is defined it will be highlighted by making a photo-negative of the selected area, and an audible camera “shutter” click will be heard. The snapshot is placed on the Clipboard for subsequent easy pasting into documents. If an error occurs (usually because of a memory shortage) an audible beep is heard.
• Some applications maintain their own Clipboard buffers, and if you "snap" their window, then switch out of the application to another one, they overwrite the snapshot on the Clipboard with their own buffers. A simple work-around is to be "in" the Finder, but with the image you want captured visible on the screen. Then take the snapshot and paste wherever you like.
