About FlySketch
FlySketch is a unique new application that allows you to draw on top of just about anything on your screen. Highlight words or paragraphs, and draw shapes to help define what you want to say. Drag and drop your results onto another application, or email it to a friend.
Great uses for FlySketch
Some applications just don’t do what you want them to do. Take TextEdit for example - it’s a great writing application, but it doesn’t come with any drawing tools. The same can be said about many applications. With FlySketch you can bring up a window without ever leaving TextEdit to create diagrams using the built in line and shape tools. Adding your creations to TextEdit is done with just the drag of a mouse.
Maybe you’re surfing the web, and you come across a great interface that you would like to study in detail later . Or you find a picture that you know might not be around for much longer. Pop up FlySketch, use the screen capture button and tuck it away to a special “web collections” folder that you added to the workflow actions.
Workflow actions may also be created out of regular applications. Simply drag an alias of Microsoft Entourage® to the workflow folder, and when you choose its corresponding action in the workflow actions the image will be attached to a new email. You can also apply the same trick to Corel Painter®, Adobe Photoshop®, Mail, or just about any other application that allows you to drag images onto its application icon.
Getting images out of FlySketch is a piece of cake
To place an image into an application, just hold down the command key and drag on the canvas to pull the image off. Let go of the mouse when you have your cursor positioned over your destination. If you would like the image to have a transparent background when pasted, hold down command-option (⇧⌘) while you drag the image.
