GrabberRaster Editor's Review

GrabberRaster is a simple application that allows you to make screen captures.

At first sight this application looks quite useless since there is the Mac OS X screen printing support which is very good. GrabberRaster helps you when you need to capture a precise portion of the screen, where the Mac built in support is not that brilliant, and the only solution is the crop post-processing. But the cropping has another big issue: usually you can't cut precisely if you need to cut more than one file, so in this case you need a 3rd party tool such as GrabberRaster.

As I started to discover this application, I realized that it actually offers a lot of useful features such as: the default file output; the default file output path; the default application which can open the resulted files, custom snapshot size which can resize the grabbed area; various predefined grabber sizes and options; multiple ways to do a snapshot. The application is a full featured snapshot program. The only thing that misses from this application is the possibility to grab a certain window from a Mac application.

Pluses: multiple features that allows you to obtain good snapshots, very customizable.

Drawbacks / flaws: in my previous computer experience I realized that 'Cancel' actually means cancel. In this application's case, when using the 'Save as' functionality, 'Cancel' actually means save, while 'Save' means (surprise) save.

In conclusion: the application is really good actually, but you have to actually try it yourself in order to see this. The application is stable. The only thing that didn't work in the right way is the 'Save as' functionalities, but this shouldn't be such a big issue actually.
