7. SCREENSHOT WITH DROPLR

Droplr is one of the screenshots document sharing services with complete and easy features. In addition to screenshots in the form of images, you can also make video screen recording to record some or all of the screen activity as needed. Droplr also has a document upload mode automatically, complete and easily accessible shortcuts and annotation modes.

Droplr service you can try for free with minimum usage amount. If you already use the Droplr service, please update to Pro or Business mode with monthly subscription system. Detailed information about Droplr can be found on the following page.

8. USE SCREENSHOT PSD APPLICATION

As the name implies, Screenshot PSD is useful for making screenshots of the Mac computer screen with the result of the image document PSD aka Photoshop. Not just PSD format, but the screenshot image that you get also a few layers of images in accordance with the view that you are not.

Even when the Premiuminfo team tries, PSD Screenshot can detect the application window that I open behind the main view. Suppose a different Safari tab or even wallpaper I use. In this way you can make screenshot compositions more easily or maybe take the small details that are needed without the hassle. As an additional note, the image of the PSD Screenshot is large enough and you should trim it in a folder so it is easy to remove when not in use.
