January 20, 2010: PicturePaste is a new utility designed specifically for cloud-computing services such as Google Docs, Gmail, YahooMail, WordPress and other web-based text editors.
Launched yesterday, this small Windows utility is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari for Windows. It is not compatible with the Opera browser and only works with the Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. PicturePaste supports Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, Google Docs and most web-based blog and text editors.

This new application solves one of the usability drawbacks of using cloud-based solutions such as Google Docs, Gmail and WordPress; namely that the operating system clipboard does not allow copying and pasting of graphics and images to any web-based service. This is a restriction of all current web browsers. With PicturePaste, users can take any graphic or image on the system clipboard and with a single click convert it into an image that can be dropped directly into most web-based email and text editors.
PicturePaste also supports easy embedding of screen-grabs (whole screen or single window) into Gmail, Hotmail or other web based editors. It also supports drag-and-drop of JPG photo files from digital cameras. The basic application is available as a free download from www.PicturePaste.com. A premium version is available for heavyweight users who do a lot of copy and pasting of graphics and images at a cost of only US$29.95 (+ GST if applicable)
