A recently released Add-On for the Firefox web browser makes capturing, editing, and annotating web pages a snap!
FireShot is the name of the Add-On. Once downloaded and installed, it places an unobtrusive icon in the upper right corner of the browser. When you happen upon a website/page that you'd like to capture and save, simply click on the icon. The image can be saved in either .jpeg or .bmp (bit map) format.
FireShot then allows you to manipulate the image in a numbers of ways, the most useful of which I've found to be cropping and adding annotations. It gets even better...
The image can then be uploaded and stored along with other screen captures and placed in an album. The album can then be viewed as a slide show. How cool is that?
Images and albums are stored online and may be shared. Not only that, but they can be made public or kept private.
Take a look at the end-result of a sample I've created (in under 30 seconds). It's located at http://easycaptures.com/9562647720. This is the perfect answer to creating tutorials. I'm, sure you'll think of other ways this Add-On can be used. It's simple, easy, and elegant in what it does.
Give FireShot a try!
