Techsmith SnagIt Screen Capture

I love it ,but I love the Onde ScreenCapture for Mac better ,beacause i used the mac os,and the onde screen capture have the function of shortcut key.certainly,the snaglt screen capture is enough good ,and I prefer the onde screen capture result in the additional feature.

I love Snag-it -- used for years but, recently upgraded to latest version and usually with most software these days the upgraded version is aweful. So I did the free trial to check it out and I was plesantly surprised they added new features and useful functions.

Love it so worth the money.

The Techsmith SnagIt Screen Capture software package captures images (and a lot more) using a Capture Profile. SnagIt provides a large number of standard Capture Profiles, which you can use, edit or delete.

You can define whether to capture the whole screen, part of it, just the active window, a fixed region on screen, a manually specified region, a specific object or menu. You can even capture a 'freehand' area.

You can automatically apply effects or edit the image in a clipboard view (or create a file and edit it later using the SnagIt Editor). The Editor can do a huge number of image manipulation tasks.

You can specify the format of the captured image from a huge list of graphics file types - so you don't get stuck with the huge .BMP image file you get from using Ctrl+PrintScreen.

You can specify the output type: Clipboard (or none), file, email, printer, IM program, FTP or any appropriate program you have installed.

Then there is text capture, web page capture, DirectX capture (for taking in-game screenshots to PROVE to your mates that you killed that Boss!), and video capture (although Techsmith do another product that does this last item better - Camtasia).

SnagIt is currently on release v7.2.5. I have been using it for around 5 years (since version 5.x). Each release is very stable and provides more and more features (which you can choose to ignore if you so wish).

This application plays well with NT4.0, Win2K and WinXP, and integrates with MS Office, specifically Word, Excel, PowerPoint and IE. I can't comment on earlier OS's because I have not used it on these.

My main use of this product is for helping to describe software bugs to developers, creating PowerPoint shows for product demos, illustrating User Manuals and capturing online receipts from purchases I have made.
