Ript is a new, free software application in beta development that lets you collect images and text from the Web, then compile and arrange them into pages you can print or share with friends and family. It's a simple freeware idea that makes sense...and it's from Oprah? Well, sort of. The publisher is the Oprah Winfrey-founded Oxygen Media, recently acquired by Universal. monopiratebay. Ript works via an overlay "Pile"--representing by a stack of documents--that sits on a layer on top of your applications. You can work with your programs as you would normally, and drag any images, text, or links to the Pile that you want to save. Once you've saved a few scraps, you can access them by double-clicking the Pile, which opens the Table interface. In the Table interface you can then rotate, enlarge, and arrange those scraps on pages otherwise, similar to a scrapbook. You can't add links directly to scraps, but you can store certain metadata such as where an item comes from, where it links to, and any notes you want to include about an item. You can save links, but they're stored as simple text URLs, and not clickable in the RIPT files. You can work on several pages at once using the Table interface, and save your final, single-page creations as JPGs or proprietary RIPT files, which can be edited or increased with more scaps. Printing worked fine, as did the e-mail feature, but do we really need to be printing or e-mailing more bits of digitial ephemera? From creating by collage aside, you can can add your own text to any Ript file, but there's only one font. Ключ Для Userbot Автокликер. This Ript collage isn't very cool, but it doesn't violate the conditions (as far as I can tell). Did I mention it's a beta version? Unfortunately, there are a few major problems with the image capturing process, or maybe the Pile is merely out of luck when it comes to background images or images displayed via CSS. I especially had a little of trouble capturing images from Oxygen Media's own site using Internet Explorer. Worse, it doesn't seem to work well with large images. Even when I did manage to grab the background image of Husband for Hire, half of the image was black. That happened frequently with other large images. The software seems very much in development still, so it's impossible to rip on Ript too much, and I hope I don't sound too critical. It's a great idea, but it needs to work more effectively with all Web images (and why not video too?) and/or launch a online sharing service--which brings its own set of issues obviously... Windows themes hide danger.
