The new Ashampoo Magical Snap is the successor to the popular Ashampoo SnapYa!. In addition to the powerful screen capture capabilities that made SnapYa! such a success the new version adds new editing and effects tools with a uniquely simple user interface.

You have to see it to believe it – graphics editing has never been this easy! Anybody can now make pro-quality screenshots that look like they were finished by a graphics designer. Most of the time you won’t even need to do any editing at all, because the program can apply effects like drop shadows and torn paper edges to produce stylish results on the fly. After you capture the screenshot the new editing interface opens automatically. If you’re satisfied with the results you just select one of the one-click tools to save your screenshot, send it by email, copy it or print it.

If you want to make more changes all the tools are there at your fingertips. In addition to familiar functions like resize, rotate, crop, cut and copy Ashampoo Magical Snap also includes a set of easy-to-use “MouseTools”. MouseTools turn your mouse pointer into a miniature graphics editing program. Everything you need is right there around the mouse pointer, including all the relevant buttons and controls. You don’t have to look for anything in complicated menus and dialogs. MouseTools can erase areas, highlight areas, insert arrows, insert text, draw transparent and filled shapes and create an impressive “spotlight” effect to draw attention to special details. All practically with a flick of the mouse, and all with high-quality rendering for really sophisticated results!
