Desk Shots 4

- Take Desktop Screenshots With Many Options -
Taking a desktop screenshot is something that I always do when I get ready to release a new software title. I don't use the entire desktop area. I only need part of it like 1,440 points x 900 points or 1,200 points x 750 points at the top-left corner. So I need a desktop application that lets me define multiple partial desktop areas where to take desktop screenshots. In many cases, I need the application to wait for several seconds so that I can get prepared. And Desk Shots 4 waits for me by counting down numbers to 1. In all, Desk Shots 4 is something that is essential for my work.
This is the 4th edition of the series, and you have more choices and options than before. You can now let the application create a GIF animation file with screenshots that have been taken consecutively.
- What's new? -
1. Define a partial desktop area to capture with a color frame window.

3. Make the background color of a text box clear.
4. Let the application create a GIF animation file with screenshots that have been taken consecutively.
5. Audio-countdown numbers to 1 before capturing the desktop area. (macOS 10.15 or higher required)
