WinSnap 4.5 adds new post-capture pen tool

This quartz-dense instrumental jam develops gradually, like an oncoming storm front slowly moving across the horizon, when, all of a sudden, lightning flashes and a downpour of sound floods the senses. This is one of drummer Danny Carey's finer moments, where he plays with the cinder-block-smashing power of John Bonham in his prime. He's the engine that powers one of Tool's most physical, just plain overwhelming songs. Remember that blanket party scene in "Full Metal Jacket" where Vincent D'Onofrio gets beaten to tears with bars of soap? That's how "Triad" registers.This emotionally charged tune from 1996's "Aenima" was once a staple of Tool's live gigs, but the band hasn't played it much in the past 10 years. On it, Keenan delivers one of his most affecting vocal performances toward the song's grand finale. "As the walls come down and as I look in your eyes, my fear begins to fade," he sings, ostensibly speaking to his son, whom "H." is believed to be about.

It's a tender, unguarded moment from a band whose true sentiments can be as puzzling to decipher as a scrambled Rubik's Cube.Tool's first recorded material was as concise and to the point as the band's latter day repertoire would become expansive and lyrically opaque. This bruising banshee howl is the band at its most confrontational, a profane, three-minute kiss off from its 1992 EP "Opiate," where the group establishes the guiding principle of its career: These dudes are going to do what they want, when they want, and if that means turning antagonism into an art form, so be it. WinSnap 4.5 debuts a completely redesigned and updated user interface, plus adds a host of new tools, including new presets and quick preferences and a number of new drawing tools.

The new release also promises improved support for the most recent Windows 8 Aero theme, plus the usual gamut of tweaks and bug fixes.WinSnap's redesigned user interface now comes with a choice of four different styles: black the default, silver, blue and system. Users can easily switch between these using the new View menu, which is designed to make it easier to quickly customize the UI appearance and style – users will find the four styles accessible via the Style sub-menu.The user interface has also been redesigned with ease-of-use in mind, making program options and key tools easier to access.
