I have and love skitch, but I would also prefer imageshack support, or some sort of anonymous image upload.I am on IRC quite a bit, uploading images, and I would prefer they’re uploaded somewhere more general / anyone can upload there such as imageshack.

[...] simple and fun screen captures can – and should – be until you use Skitch. You can check it out in my screencast (anyone see the common thread here of sweet apps with screencast demonstrations?) if you’re [...]

Lime: There are quite a few places where we deviate from typical Mac OS X but we don’t do this just for the sake of it. It is always to make a better product in the context of what it does.

The nature of Skitch lends itself to 4 corner resize. Once you get Skitch, I’d love to hear if you don’t agree.

We are always looking to improve every facet of Skitch.

Also, what is it about the imageshack service that makes you want Skitch support for it? We support Flickr already. imageshack and photobucket are other services we are pondering supporting.

Brandon – Glad you are enjoying it! :)

Skitch is very amazing!!!! Mark Pearson accepted me as a private beta tester and I plan to write a detailed review with some screencasts and screenshots of this wonderful application! I, too, must admit that I have not been this excited about an application in a while, and am very impressed by the offerings from Plasq’s Skitch in only its first private beta stage.

Lime: We have made many decisions on the Skitch UI that don’t convene with typical OS X behavior. These decisions are not made because we felt like it but to make a better application in context with what it does. 4 Corner resize is one such decision that when you use it, makes a lot of sense.

When you get Skitch, I’d love to know if you still feel the same. Please let me know via http://plasq.com/contact and cite this apple blog conversation.

There are some areas where we know we need to conform more with OS X. In some cases, not everyone is going to agree with what we do :) We are continually improving the UI and features so feedback is always great.

About imageshack. What is it about that service that makes you want Skitch integration?

Skitch seems great and have some great features. Arrows and history are the 2 stuff I miss using SCREEN DUMP.
SCREEN DUMP is still my favorite : it’s free and very efficiant. SCREEN DUMP will do a screenshot, resize it and upload it somewhere on your ftp. You can also set up a timer (usually at 20s for me) so your client/friend can see what you’re doing in “real time”. (I gave my clients a URL that reload automatically the image.)

Yes, the two soft are somehow different but I see a complementarity between both.

Thank for the screencast.

Younghusband: Not yet, but it is definitely something I’ve thought about. Won’t happen in the first release, but sharpen, blur, brightness and contrast are things we intend to do.

For those that don’t know, a light sharpening after sizing down an image is a good thing to do. Don’t over do it though.

Thanks everyone else for being so excited about Skitch! Makes the many many months of sweating over Skitch worth it :)

Nick, thanks for the screencast!

Looks great. Does it have a Sharpen function? My workflow is usually crop>resize>sharpen>upload. Sharpen seems to be the one function not found in light image editors. If Skitch can do this then sign me up!
