LED Display
Snappy employs LED displays to keep you informed about the way things are. Here's how they work.
Progress Indicator LEDs

If you look along the outer right edge of the Snappy interface, you'll see a row of LEDs. These LEDs are there so that you will know that Snappy is hard at work processing your picture, and how much longer it will be at work.
Although Snappy captures a snap in as little as 1/60th of a second, this is just the beginning of its task. Snappy uses sophisticated image processing algorithms to enhance the quality of the pictures it grabs before displaying them. This processing and analysis can take a few seconds or longer depending on the speed of your PC, the Snap Type, and the Picture Size settings. Once you've clicked Snap, the LEDs on the right side of the Snappy interface will begin to light up. (see figure 1). When all 10 are lit, Snappy is finished processing the picture, and will display it in a picture window.
