HyperLens

Every now and then, we come across truly innovative and useful applications that make working on a computer so much easier. One of such applications is HyperLens.

It's a neat and creative software solution that allows you to magnify certain areas of your desktop, as well as capture your screen display and presentation.

The application sports a really modern and intuitive graphical interface that makes it very easy to navigate through all of its features. The toolbar gives you access to various sections and if you're having trouble getting accustomed to the application, you should check the tips and instruction menu.

The trial version is only available for 30 days, after which you will be required to purchase the premium version.

It comes with a magnifier that zooms in on the area around your cursor and you can make all sort of adjustments to it. The application allows you to pick from two available modes, Normal or Enhanced Modes.

If you activate the latter, the program will use hardware overlay surface to display the lens and you will be capable of viewing layered or transparent windows and objects.

You can change the shape of the lens, pick from regular or rounded rectangle and circle. You can also adjust the lens refresh rate, pick a color mode and add a sharpening filer.

It comes with the option to set a custom size to the lens and add a border or texture filter. The zoom level can be adjusted and you can enable smoothing or adjust color levels.

It also allows you to change brightness, contrast, saturation and even hue. Cursor effects can be added, you can choose from multiple highlighting styles or create shortcuts for tools inside the application.

HyperLens is a very useful application for magnifying areas of your desktop, but keep in mind that it might cause your computer to slow down a bit.
