The application is able to save the screenshots in some of the most popular image formats (BMP / JPG / GIF / PNG) and offers customizable hot-keys for its capture modes.The first time you run Horizon33, it will bring up an almost blank window in no time at all.

You can also opt for the Clipboard, Application, E-Mail or Microsoft Office output modes.A very nice aspect of this sub-menu is that you can pick several options and as soon as you take the screenshot, they will come into play, one by one.
