Take Arbitrarily Shaped Screenshots with LassoCapture

Hey guys, this is Mackinson, one with a small video on the latest Mac app that we made. This app basically allows you to take a screenshot of any part of your screen without it having to be square. So it's like the lasso tool in Photoshop; you can just select any part of an image and copy it out, but it's for your screen.

I made the app; it's called Lasso Capture.app. When you open it up, it puts a little thing in your menu bar, and you can click it and click "Take Lasso Snapshot." From here, you can drag around, and it'll save it right to your desktop. There's the screenshot I just took.

There's also a keyboard shortcut for this: if you press Shift + Command + 6, it'll take you back into screenshot mode where you can drag around anything you want. I kind of messed up with that one and let go too soon, but yeah. Another cool feature this adds is if you press Shift + Command + 5 and take a screenshot, it does the normal Shift + Command for activity, except it doesn't save it to your desktop but it copies it to your clipboard.

Then you can paste it in, and if I do another one of those and I paste it in, it'll paste right there. So it just copies it to your clipboard. So that's a video, a small video on my latest Lasso Capture app. Real quickly, I'll show you how to make it run at startup.

You just go to System Preferences, Accounts, Login Items, and drag it in from your Applications folder. You should have it in your Applications folder, and when you do that, it'll automatically run this when you log in.

Um, so yeah, that's pretty much it. You can download the app; I'll have a link in the description to download the app, and I'll have a link in the description to download the source code. So, uh, thanks for watching. Mac as well, subscribe, and goodbye.
