What’s New in Version 7?

HyperSnap 7 has major changes in its basic interface, in the way that tools are presented, and in new options offered.

t  Ribbon interface is the new method used in HyperSnap Version 7 to display the various functions provided. It encompasses tools previously shown in menus, toolbars, and other taskbars into one easily-viewed area called “The Ribbon”.

ü  The Ribbon presents groups of tools placed in a set of tabs, as shown above.

ü  Command tabs are the tab dividers seen at the top. They include File, Capture, Edit, Image, TextSnap, Setup, and Help.

The Image tab is shown in the example above.

ü  Groups are the collection of tools under each tab, separated by vertical lines.

The Image tab shown has five groups, Modify, Rotate, Effects, Colors, and   User tools.

ü  Tools are all the items listed within each group.

ü  The Quick Access bar, above the tabs provides easy access to the most-used tools. It can be customized, as needed.

t  Although Ribbon is the main HyperSnap 7 interface, the former Menu interface is still available.

t  A new drawing editor, available in the Edit Tab and the Draw Tools bar, allows two modes for editing: Shape editing mode (new) and drawing directly on image (as in HyperSnap 6 and older).

ü  In shape editing mode, anything you draw is a separate shape. It can be selected later, moved, edited, hidden and shown again, and deleted.

ü  A new file format specific to HyperSnap 7, .dhs (HyperSnap Drawing) preserves the separate shapes and lets you edit them later, after closing and re-opening the file.

ü  If you save to standard image formats, the shapes are permanently “imprinted” on the image and cannot be edited separately when you re-open this “shapes added” file in HyperSnap.

t  New polygonal and free-hand selection tools, available in the Edit Tab allow you to perform two functions.

ü  In image editing mode you can select an irregular part of an image, and copy, move and scale it.

ü  In shape editing mode you can select shapes contained within a polygonal or freehand shape.

t  Thumbnails (small pictures) can be displayed of captures and any other images opened in HyperSnap. (To see, check Thumbnails in the Setup tab.)

t  Multiple Images can be batched to have the same operations applied at one time.

t  Region Captures can be fixed to a specified aspect ratio or fixed size.

t  Save to PDF is enabled, including saving multiple images to one PDF file.

t  New Image Edits provide a variety of enhancements, including a more detailed color selection.

t  New/Added features include a Smart Auto-zoom and a Fit-to-Window option.
