![]() ![]() Skitch has a very innovative way of letting you bring your final images into email, documents and other apps. The highlighter tool helps you call attention to important content within photos or screenshots just like a physical highlighter. If you want to doodle or add a little creativity to your screenshot or imported image, this tool is great. It can be pretty useful if you want to hide something private from your images. The selection will become unreadable, allowing you to share your Skitch note with others without revealing any unwanted information. When you’re working with a photo, snapshot, or screenshot, just tap the Pixelate button and click and drag your mouse across the part of the image that you would like to obscure. ![]() The new Pixelate feature is a useful tool to obscure sensitive or personal information in an image. Fancy shapes such as the stars and pentagons have been left out but thankfully we have the popular ones at our disposal. Skitch includes four types of shapes: a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, an ellipse and a line. This ensures that your annotation stands out against the background image and adjust the font and line size for the various annotations such as the arrows and shapes. You can change the color or thickness of the highlighter, or any of the tools and shapes, using the styling options. As long as you don’t need a specific type of font for your images, you should be satisfied with Skitch’s text tool. You can add text to your screen shots or images but only one font is available but it is still likeable because its clean and beautiful if you love simplicity. Well it just works if you want to pint out something, you can arrow them accordingly. There are several annotations you have at your disposal in Skitch. Annotating and Editing screen shots and images So basically, Skitch is not just for screenshots, but it can load other images to edit and annotate as well. There are other options too in the drop down menu where you find “Screen Snap” by default like capturing the full screen, loading an image from a specific file or folder, and loading an image from the clipboard. Once it’s initialized, you’re screen will fade and your cursor will become a crosshair. Skitch is set to “Screen Snap” by default, which can be accessed through the button or the keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+5. Features Capturing the screen is easy with Skitch and a lot more intuitive Then, once you’re done, quickly share your annotated image. Crop a screenshot to include only the critical aspects. Use the marker to draw freehand shapes or outline an object. You can add arrows, shapes and text to point out something important. ![]() The toolbar buttons offer all of these options as well, while also displaying the program’s keyboard shortcuts next to the command. There are few buttons on the side, some of which open up to a few more options and there is a dropdown menu in the top left corner and two save options in the top right corner. The best thing about Skitch is that it employs a very easy to use and simple interface. Well as am talking about the Windows 7 version of Skitch i am using, i’ll detail this version but not to worry as the Windows 8 version is aslo pretty similar but based on the Windows 8 UI design language previously known as the Metro UI. Well to be true it does not have all the features some of its rivals have but it makes up with the ease of use, its quickness and its intuitive nature and since it is owned by Evernote, it also offers integration with its services. Skitch is truly the most intuitive application one can get to capture the screen and with it available on Windows XP and later and also the brand new Windows 8, Windows users should truly rejoice. It’s the favorite screenshot tool for the Mac for many, and it was finally available on Windows on last month. Skitch is a simple screenshot tool that makes it easy to edit, annotate, share photos instantly. Skitch is one of the most loved screen capture software for Macs and recently the developers brought it to Windows desktops and even for Windows 8. Windows has its own native solution which lets you capture the screen with the prt sc sys rq key on the keyboard but it is a little tiring in my opinion and if you want to be quick then it is surely not usable. There are lot of screen capturing tools on Windows but it is pretty difficult to find a software with the right mix of ease of use and being quick, while remaining useful and intuitive.
