Adding text is infuriating because there is no editor box to allow changing font size/type - though I've heard there are some hidden hotkeys like scrollwheel for some of this but I haven't learned the secret language to make these hidden Lightshot features closer to useable. The color selector being colored pencils is strange and not very useful - I wish it had a simpler color selector or allowed hex codes/color names to ensure I was using the same colors consistently between screenshots. Selecting different tools barely shows a difference in the button highlighting or in the cursor so it's hard to tell what tool you're about to use. I often times find myself trying to draw a box to highlight something and instead it moves the frame of what's selected instead so the whole screenshot image changes.

On the surface it does a similar job but the usability is much worse.


It also comes with a text editor for adding comments. The manipulation tool has modification settings ideal for adding visual effects like color and even drawings like you may do when you want to highlight some areas. The application supports the cropping functions such that you can choose the areas within the desktop which you can capture.
