LassoCapture Final Release

Hey guys, this is M kids on1, and today we're going to be, uh, reviewing, uh, the final version of our lasso capture application for the Mac.

So in the previous video we uploaded about this, uh, it was a very, uh, limited beta, and all you could really do is take a screenshot of lasso and save it to your desktop. We've added some customization and, uh, some feature additions to this that make it just a little bit more useful, a little bit more usable.

Um, so go to our macad1.com, downloads, Mac apps, and click on lasso capture. I'll have a link to this in the description as well. Um, but yeah, so it'll start, uh, downloading. Um, I'll just wait till it's done, and I'll open it up.

All right, and it'll mount. So here I'll just show it in icon view so you can see this nice DMG. But basically, uh, all you have to do from here is drag lasso capture into your applications folder, and once you do that, it'll put it in here. You'll see it in your applications folder and you can just double-click it.

When you double-click it, it'll automatically put it in your startup items, so you don't even have to worry about that anymore. It just has to be in your applications, and it'll work.

So, uh, now we can, uh, click on this. They’re the same options, but there's also a settings option. So if we click on this, uh, you'll see some settings, uh, and I'll go over these in a second.

But if we go over the shift, uh, the, uh, core functionality as of right now, if I press shift command 6, uh, I can drag my mouse around any part of the screen and, uh, select it and take a screenshot. And this is a bad example because it's a square, but it'll basically save the screenshot onto my desktop and alpha it out.

So you can just paste this on top of whatever you want to, and it's very nice. Um, another cool feature, uh, with this is that it makes it so you can paste things. So if I press shift command 5 and I select something, instead of saving the file onto my desktop like it normally would, I can open up something like Pages, uh, which I'll just open up right now.

And, uh, once it's opened up, I'll be able to paste it in, and you can also use this for other places like pasting into preview and, uh, things like that. But for now, I'm just going to be showing it to you in Pages because I think a lot of people can relate to this.

So if I just press the paste button, it pasted the screenshot I just took. If I take another screenshot, I press shift command 5, take a screenshot of these icons on my desktop—it won't save it to my desktop. I can just paste it in, and I just have to go to edit and paste, and paste right in.

So that's how to use the shift command five. All you have to do is press shift command five.

Okay, uh, so now let's go back to the settings. Um, now you can say inverse the color screenshots before saving. Um, so basically, uh, if we do that and we check that and then we close it, if I press shift command 5 and I take a screenshot, and I'll just open up preview and paste it in file from the clipboard, uh, it'll just be inverted, and the colors will be inverted.

So that's very cool. Uh, if you press shift command six and lasso select something and go ahead and do that, it'll also be inverted, as you can see by the colors there.

All right, so that is the inversion part of it, I guess. So now let's go over the, um, the, uh, clipboard part. So with lasso, now you can save it to your clipboard as well as save it to your desktop. That's pretty self-explanatory.

You can also set the thickness of this, so if I press shift command six and go, uh, and I'll save it to my desktop, and you saw that, that, uh, that lasso selector was a bit bigger. That just changes the appearance.

I also, I can also set that to really thin. I'm not going to do that. I can also set the lasso color, which is kind of cool. I'll set it to blue, and now if I do it, then it's a blue selection instead of a, uh, that selection.

And then obviously, I can disable this. I can disable the shift command 5 altogether. So that's pretty much the, um, lasso capture overview.

So thanks for watching ma one, subscribe, and goodbye!
