![]() ![]() LongShot is made for Android exclusively and it is very versatile and useful. The screen capture feature can be set to either automatic or manual and you can stitch as many screenshots into one image. You might also be interested in the Web Snapshot feature that lets you capture the entire website with a single snapshot. It also allows you to add watermarks and do other cool stuff. Picsew also comes with some neat image editing features. You can take amazing scrolling screenshots because it allows you to stitch pictures on both the horizontal and vertical axis. The author, Mouser, also created a series of screencasts showing how to use some of the tools.Picsew is compatible with iOS and it is probably the best option in the budget category, as it costs around one US dollar. The buttons are clearly labels, and helpful hints explain tricky points. Screenshot Captor is a no-nonsense utility, containing plenty of options, buttons, and controls and very little visual flair. In terms of UI, you won’t find many bells and whistles. The application also features a built-in image editor with simple annotation tools such as arrows and text boxes, and supports free utility ZUploader (from the makers of ZScreen) for uploading images to hosting services. Screenshot Captor can also save an individual screenshot of every control (button, text area, and so on) in the target window automatically, or just take a simple screenshot of the active window or any region of the screen. Scrolling image capture is just one of Screenshot Captor’s features. The end result was a beautiful screenshot of a page containing an animated GIF. There were some image issues near the bottom of the page, most of which I easily fixed using Screenshot Captor’s post-processing stage. Screenshot Captor scrolled much faster than Snagit, and it caught the animated GIF mid-frame: There was no duplication. Worse yet, Snagit doesn’t offer easy tools for fixing such errors. ![]() Sadly, it was confused by an animated GIF, producing multiple copies of it one after the other, effectively breaking the screenshot. Snagit scrolled the page briskly and produced a screenshot. I picked Ffffound because it’s a long webpage, and because it often contains animated GIFs. My next test was capturing a screenshot of art website shown in Chrome. That worked fine, and produced a beautiful screenshot. Screenshot Captor reported that Opera wouldn’t respond to normal scrolling actions, so I just told it to send PgUp/PgDn keypresses. Snagit flat-out refused to work: The double-arrow icon simply didn’t show up. I first tried to take a screenshot of a webpage shown in Opera. Screenshot Captor uses a much more involved interface in which you test the window for scrolling methods beforehand, take the screenshot, and then stitch the image back together once the screenshot was taken, with full control over the stitching process. Click the icon, Snagit scrolls the area, takes a screenshot, and you’re done. In terms of UI, Snagit is far slicker: Just hover over a scrolling area and a double-arrow icon shows up. Screenshot Captor offers an advanced (if tricky) interface for capturing scrolling windows.In Screenshot Captor 3.0, scrolling capture was reworked from the ground up, and I couldn’t resist pitting it head-to-head against Snagit.
