Download HyperSnap-DX 7.02

Hyperionics has released version 7 of HyperSnap and the first update has already become available. With this program, screenshots can be taken of the entire screen, just a window or a section of your choice. An autoscroll function is also available, with which screenshots can be taken of windows that are larger than the screen, for example of a web page. In addition, images can be edited. For example, arrows, circles and text can be applied to clarify things, for example. In version 7, among other things, the interface has been adjusted and the program now uses a so-called Ribbon, which we know from Microsoft Office 2007 and later versions. For the rest, mainly existing functionality has been improved and expanded.

HyperSnap 7.02 released

• On popular demand changed the way drawing tools work. Now – as in v.6, when you select eg drawing lines, HyperSnap will remain in drawing lines mode until you change it (in 7.01 it went back to selection mode). You may right-click to go back to selection mode at once anytime.
• Corrected a problem with text drawing (new text appeared in left top corner instead where drawn), also fixed the crash if text entered in “draw directly on image” mode.
• Right-click on shape that is not selected, now selects it and shows the properties menu. Previously did nothing, you had to left-click to select the shape first.
• Added “Edit text…” item to the right-click-on-shape menu, if clicked on text or callout shape.

New Features in Version 7

• New user interface, using Ribbon instead of menu and toolbars. However you can still switch to the old menu/toolbars interface if you want. We recommend that you give try to the new UI though, as some features are not available or more difficult to access with the old interface.
• Big enhancements to HyperSnap drawing editor – all shapes drawn are now kept as separate objects. You may select them at any time, move, modify, delete. You may also imprint them permanently on the image at any time.
• New shapes in drawing editor – different types of callouts, arc, opened and closed polylines. When needed, you may switch to “draw directly on image” mode. This could be useful eg to edit small icons, where each pixel counts, while for bigger images we recommend the new shape drawing mode.
• New native HyperSnap file format .dhs – preserves the drawn shapes as separate objects for later editing.
• Support for opacity (alpha channel) – any part of an image can be made completely or partially transparent.
• A much enhanced color picker on the Ribbon “Edit” tab – select colors from standard palette, define up to 8 user colors, switch between using the foreground/line color or background/fill color, pick color form anywhere on the screen, set RGB or HSL color codes with sliders or by typing values, displays and offers a quick copy of HTML color code like #E6C01A, “pin” colors to use the same colors in all editiond images or have separate selections for each image and more.
• Optional thumbnail list showing small previews of all images captured or opened in HyperSnap window. Click on thumbnails to switch the big window to that image. Select multiple images in Thumbnails View window, then right click to apply group operations on selected images, eg resize them, print, save to one multi-page file (TIFF or PDF) or to separate image files in one operation.
• Save images to PDF files. Can also open PDF files created with HyperSnap 7, but not other PDFs.
• Region capture enhancements – select unrestrained or pre-defined aspect ratio of captured region (eg 4:3, 16:9 or user defined), select a pre-defined fixed size of captured region, eg 640×480 pixels, and move it around the screen .
• Support for FireFox 4 and newer with FireFox add-on to capture entire pages etc.
• Many more smaller enhancements.
