Download/HomepageEven as a beta, Screen Rip32 is a really likeable freeware screen capture
utility. It does the usual full-screen, window, and active window captures, but does the
client- and selective-area captures more simply (and reliably) than some other capture
programs I've used. Nope, there's no provision for scrolling images or animated GIFs yet,
but geez, this is a beta, and it has a few other things that are kinda neat. Such as: Not
only can you capture with cursor, but you can add a cursor to a capture later (any CUR or
ANI file you want). The "custom area" capture facility makes it easy to grab
icons or small, pixel-sized areas.
Screen Rip32 supports these different image formats: ICO, BMP, JPG, and GIF. You can
convert or capture images as different color depths, including monochrome. The toolbar
layout is simple, and there are hotkey and other user-options I hadn't expected. This is
just a great little app for quick capture work. Just unzip and click, there's no real
install/uninstall required.
What Screen Rip32 is missing in bells & whistles, it's also missing in bulk -- compare
its 508K size with the 3.1M of one of my high-falutin' capture programs. So, if disk space
is your concern, Screen Rip32 is worth a look. The price sure is right. Meanwhile, the
author is working on a standard version, and iterations in between, so expect this program
to evolve. I don't know what kind of support there is, but comments and bug reports can be
sent to the author at progency@aol.com
