Publishing to Online Services

• Ember

  Ember is an image hosting service from Realmac Software. The service allows you to share your snaps and their metadata with your friends, colleagues and clients. Once set up, LittleSnapper uploads all metadata associated with the snap to your Ember account, and copies the web address to view the image online back into your library.

  To register for a free Ember account, go to the LittleSnapper Preferences window, and sign up from within the Publishing tab. You can also use this preferences window to sign into an existing account if you're already registered.

• Flickr

  LittleSnapper allows you to upload snaps to Yahoo's Flickr photo-sharing service. If you have not already added your Flickr account to LittleSnapper you can do so by opening the application's Preferences window and choosing the Publishing tab. You can add as many Flickr accounts as you wish to the LittleSnapper Publishing preferences.

  Metadata from your library including image titles, URLs, descriptions, ratings and tags are automatically added to snaps sent to Flickr.

Exporting to your Mac

• Drag and Drop

  To quickly export a snap from your library, simply drag the snap from the main icon view to your desktop [or to any other Finder window]. Any annotations you may have made will be automatically applied to the image.

  When working in Edit mode, holding down the Option key allows you to drag and drop images directly out of the editing area. Annotations are automatically included with the snap.

• PDF Export

  LittleSnapper exports snaps to full-text PDFs, allowing you to retain links found on any snapped webpages, create multi-page and single-image PDFs.

  Select any number of snaps, and choose the File > Export Website to PDF menu option [or use keyboard shortcut Cmd + Option + Shift + E].

  Unchecking the 'Use Pagination' option will export an image-based PDF, whilst selecting the 'Use Pagination' option will generate a multi-page PDF. Both PDF versions are fully searchable and text-selectable.

• Image Export

  LittleSnapper exports to JPEG, PNG and Snap-bundle formats. To export to either format, simply select the snap(s) you wish to export, and choose the File > Export Images option. Select the image format you desire from the drop down, and select when to include annotations, and click 'Export'.

• Sending Images to External Applications

  LittleSnapper allows you to send snaps [and the HTML that accompanies Websnaps] to external image and HTML editors. Once you've set up your preferred editors in LittleSnapper's main preferences, simply right-click on an image, and choose the 'View Image in' or 'View Source in' option to launch the selected snap in the appropriate editor.
