Handy Stuff
There’s so many handy little programs that make my life as a designer that much easier. I thought I’d share some of ones I use every day and are now essential to my workflow.
All the apps listed here are free to download and use. Even better!

Paparazzi!
So many times I’ve wanted to take a screenshot of a whole site, only to find it’s too long for one screenshot. Much piecing together in Photoshop ensued. Paparazzi solves that problem in one simple click. Just type in the URL, select the output size and snap!
Skitch
Ok, so when I first found this app, I asked why I needed another screenshot app when mac has a perfectly good one built in. But then it’s so much more than that. Not only will it screenshot, but you can select the file format it saves as, write on the screenshot and highlight important areas. Also you don’t have to go hunting on your desktop to find that Picture 1.png file ever again!
Colors
Again, mac has a perfectly good colour sampling app already supplied but this simple app goes a step further by allowing you to copy the hex colour to your pasteboard in one simple click.
Pretty nifty!
