Screenshot Helper is a fairly light program that will not require as much space than most software in the section Design & Photography.
It’s available for users with the operating system Mac OS X and prior versions, and you can download it in English. Its current version is 1.2 and was updated on 3/23/2007.
Screenshot Helper shows a full screen window with a solid color or a desktop picture so that you can take clean screenshots without having irrelevant windows and desktop icons in the background.
The easiest way to get a clean desktop for screenshots on Mac OS X is to create a brand-new user account and log in as a brand-new user. But if you need to use your own user account for whatever reason and you have a messy desktop like I do, you can use Screenshot Helper to hide the actual desktop in order to take clean screenshots.
