Open the image editor and apply effectsA few photo effects may be applied as well.

When it comes to drawing tools, it is possible to use a line, curve, arrow, ellipse, rectangle, rounded rectangle, balloon, brush, eraser, highlighter (pen or rectangle) and other shapes, add text, fill color and use an eye dropper. Standard settings enable users to zoom in and out of the photo, as well as to crop, resize or rotate it.

This editor is almost identical to Windows Paint in shape and form, only that it has more advanced options. Once a picture is captured, PicPick automatically opens the editor and puts it there, thus enabling users to enhance it before saving it to file. As for drawn regions, the application shows the real-time width and height of the frame, providing users with a magnification tool the dimensions can be accurately set by pressing the arrow keys while holding down the left mouse button.

The offer can be declined to exclude it from setup, though.Ĭapture a selected window or freely draw a regionWhen it comes to capturing a frame or scrolling window, PicPick shows some advanced information such as handle code and frame size. However, since it is ad-supported, PicPick offers to download and install a third-party component which it is not necessary for the screenshot grabber to work properly. The installer does not take a long time to finish. The commercial license can be purchased here. The free edition is available for personal and non-educational use only. NOTE: PicPick 3.3.4 was tested on 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro. Hotkeys are available for all main components and they can be remapped, while automatic settings can be established to speed up repetitive jobs. A free tool geared toward all user levels, it supports multiple capturing methods, an image editor, sharing options, along with advanced functions for skilled users. PicPick is not perfect but it covers all these aspects very well. Some offer advanced features which are too difficult to figure out by novices, some sport only basic settings which do not meet the requirements of experienced users, while others lack support for extra tools or hotkeys. Software applications dedicated to screenshot grabbing are usually incomplete.
