    It does screenshotting well, and has a smooth UI. I'd like to see some additional features like changing the colour of rectangles, a pixelating tool, and a slider for the blur amount though.

    Better editing functions than other software currently available. However I found Shutter (now discontinued) superior to any replacements I've used.
