Take easy web screenshots with Aviary


Aviary, maker of excellent web-based creative tools with bird-themed names, has done it again. The latest addition to their impressive collection is an easy-to-use web app for taking screenshots of any webpage. Just put the URL of the page into your address bar after http://aviary.com/ and you're good to go.

Once you've got a page open in Aviary, you can crop and edit it online. The standard brush, text and shape tools you're familiar with from other image editing programs are available, so you might be able to get away with doing everything you want on the web instead of resorting to Photoshop.Two caveats: you'll need to sign up for an Aviary account to save your work, and editing results may vary if you use the CPU-intensive "advanced editing" features.

Crop multiple images with JPEGCrops

JpegCrops

You can open a bunch of pictures at once, set a directory to save the files, and enter names for each image. Then you can select the portion of the picture that you want to keep. JPEGCrops will create a lossless copy of the cropped image in your folder of choice.

The author has pretty much abandoned the program in favor of a new Java-based version called RoboCrop, but JPEGCrops should still meet most of your basic image cropping needs.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
