App Review - ScreenShots Plus for the Mac

I don't always give props where I should so here is one app that is well worth the time.  Steven Chaitoff over at tarcolesfilmarts.com has created a simple yet oh so useful OS X dashboard widget that is amazing.  




At first you look at this and say - I can perform screen shots with simple keystrokes such as:
  1. ⌘+Shift+3 – Takes full screen shot and saves it to the desktop
  2. ⌘+Shift+4 – Allows you to capture a selection of your screen and saves it to the desktop
  3. ⌘+Shift+4 and tap the space bar – Allows you to capture an application window and saves it to the desktop
Simply add the Control key and the screenshot is copied to the clipboard.
With this dashboard widget, just simply hit F4, click on a small icon, size up your screenshot on your screen, left click, and then review your screenshot.  As the picture shows you above, you can then see a thumbnail of your screenshot with a magnifying glass.  When you click on the Floppy Disk icon, it saves a .png to your desktop.  If you don't like it you simply click the Redo icon and try again.
Voila.
