Here’s a quick AIR app that allows you to easily crop screenshots and generate thumbnails. Handy if you’re regularly generating thumbnails for a website, just like the one below.
To use it you simply capture a screengrab with the Print Screen key or drag an existing image into the app, then within the application you can drag and resize the highlighted area to the selection you want to output and click Save. Options include changing your thumbnail size, change the source image scale and export to JPG, GIF or PNG. You can install it below:
Tip #1: You can use the arrow keys to accurately position your selection
Tip #2: You can double-click on the highlighted thumbnail or Ctrl + C to copy the thumbnail back onto the clipboard for use elsewhere.
