Not as a developer myself, but at that time I was leading a group of developers and for a customer that I was responsible for, I went to Chile.Īnd at that time we needed to do a demonstration in a couple of days’ time but there were a lot of things well wrong with the software at that moment. So, why did I need this? Well, once I was in software development.

00:51 Why did I need this? How To Screenshot on Mac PC Windows And as they say themselves is the fastest way to take customizable screenshots. My name is Olaf and today I’m going to guide you through this tool called Lightshot which is a very easy lightweight tool for windows and mac. Maybe you also would like to add some text to it or arrows or stuff to well make it clearer what you are talking about. Or let them see what you are seeing if something goes wrong you would like to show them okay this is what I’m seeing this is the part that goes wrong. Maybe you also would like to add some text to it or arrows or stuff to well make it more clear what you are talking about. In my case, it’s quite a lot I think on average I would take 10 per day and not just for copying and pasting into a presentation or an email.īut also because you want to explain something to support or a help desk.

you need to explicitly allow it permissions on Mac OS to capture your screen, and it needs to be running with the capture keys configured (I set mine to Command Shift 9, but I don't recall the default) in order to have it capture.How many times per day are you taking screenshots?

Surprised to read all the reviews from people saying they couldn't figure out how to open it. Pretty strange.ĭefinitely recommend this for anyone needing a quick snipping tool with markup support though. To be clear, the link loads just fine, it's just that the only thing in the loaded image is the lightshot logo. The actual capture doesn't seem to be there. The only issue I'm seeing currently is that no matter what I've selected to be captured, uploading the screenshot to the cloud and copying the link results in just an image of the lightshot logo.

After installing it on my M1 mac, I found that the features are pretty much all there and despite feeling a little clunky compared to the windows version, it got the job done. I've been using lightshot on windows for a couple years now and have loved it.

I hope they consider improving that someday. Lightshot is an okay program that is 80% of the way there but that last 20% of missing user experience consideration is really noticeable.

That's a shame because with some UX changes they could do it all in the one tool. I tried to use these features for a while but now I have mostly given up and use it for the one task of selecting an area of the screen to save as an image and then open that saved image in a different image editor to do the markup. Adding text is infuriating because there is no editor box to allow changing font size/type - though I've heard there are some hidden hotkeys like scrollwheel for some of this but I haven't learned the secret language to make these hidden Lightshot features closer to useable. The color selector being colored pencils is strange and not very useful - I wish it had a simpler color selector or allowed hex codes/color names to ensure I was using the same colors consistently between screenshots. Selecting different tools barely shows a difference in the button highlighting or in the cursor so it's hard to tell what tool you're about to use. I often times find myself trying to draw a box to highlight something and instead it moves the frame of what's selected instead so the whole screenshot image changes. On the surface it does a similar job but the usability is much worse. Lightshot really makes me miss Greenshot.
