A useful design tool: Fireshot for Firefox | December 12th, 2007

screenshot-program_com_fireshot.pngOften times, I want to take a screenshot of a website that I either really like or really hate. Of course there are ways to do this in your OS – with some keystroke, then opening the file in photoshop or something for editing.. but there is an easier way.

Fireshot!  This is a great little plugin for Firefox that lets you take an image of the ENTIRE page (even if its really long) or just the visible area. You can automatically save it to a certain folder or open it up quickly in the lightweight editor to add captions or black out personal details if necessary.

Anyway,  if you are an admirer of design and want to capture things you see online for inspiration later, try Fireshot.

    Take ScreenShot with FireShot…

    As a blogger, we always take screenshot and edit before put in our post. I would say this is a tedious job because it involves many processes: capture, cut, edit text, recolor, export to .png or .jpeg format.
    Instead of use the “Print Screen&#822…
