I've mocked up screens using PowerPoint; SnagIt looks like the way to go. I wonder if the kidz at google.code have any interest in acquiring Pipes.

I wonder if the kidz at google.code have any interest in acquiring Pipes.

For Windows there's a tool called SnagIt, which allows you to capture a screen shot and then add elements like arrows and text. It is very convenient. I just started my career as a designer and prefer the full flexibility of Photoshop. :) And, I worry that M$ isn't going to understand Pipes and will destroy the project.

(HTML allowed?) I appreciate the mini-tutorial. Allow me to seque here; when I want pains-taking, I do cloisonee. If there's one reason why I've been alientated from the dev_community as a whole it's because, well, when I needed to do MIL-SPEC docs I needed to do the stuff by the pound. Weekly. Month-in, month-out. So, <i>force majeure</i> I became a toolsmythe. When I see the effort you put in here (and thank you for it) I see just how/why I'm so completely side-lined. That should be almost a drag/drop process. I can't believe nobody has produced such a widget. Or, better, I can: we don't have micro-payment, so those making tools do so on their free-time, coasting on whatever good jobs they have <i>for the moment</i>. Such a nice thing to do, that sort of "markup". Such a shame that it has be done as though making jewelry. HeyHo ... good stuff. stay well ben p.s. I wonder who in M$ wrote a long memo assessing Pipes' value. Thanks Justin. (HTML allowed?) I appreciate the mini-tutorial.

I took a screenshot and in Photoshop I added another layer above the screenshot and used the marquee tool to define a selection that was the same size as the module below it. I filled it with red, and then made that layer 30% transparent, which made it pink and allowed the module to show through. Ben, I used Photoshop.

Do me a favor and indulge this silly question: what did you use to produce the pinked-out screenshot markups? I'm looking to do that, a lot of that, but haven't found a way that's dead easy. Would you email me with info? TIA --bentrem I’ve already produced some Pipes … re-reading your series to heh see what I missed.
