Screenshots play a pivotal role in making your target audience
understand the steps involved in configuring or installing an
application. When you provide an image with a description, readers can
easily comprehend the description as well as verify the sequence of
steps involved. Desktop Hunter is a screenshot-taking utility that lets you capture screenshots and save them in multiple image formats such as JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF. Unlike previously covered tools including Shotty and GreenShot, it allows you to set individual compression
levels for each image format. You can set custom hotkeys for taking
screenshots of a selected region, active window or the complete desktop.
The main interface has Copy To Clipboard, Save, Options, Capture Desktop, Capture Active Window and Capture Selected Region options at the top, while the captured screenshot appears in the main window.
Before you start taking screenshots, it’s advisable to configure the
compression levels and select output image format. The Options dialog
contains individual compression quality parameters for supported image
formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF and BMP). The JPEG Compression level ranges from lower to high, while PNG Compression has a 0-9 scale providing you with 10 compression levels. BMP Format can be saved in 1-bit,4-bit, 8-bit, 15-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit, and GIF Compression has two modes; Normal LZW compression and GIF compatible RLE compression. Under Autosave, you can define the default image format and a custom folder for saving captured images. The Hotkey option lets you set hotkeys for Capture Selected Region, Capture Active Window and Capture Desktop. When you’re done with configuring the settings, click Save.
