SnagIt is fairly simple to use, though I struggled to figure out the cropping tool. Or, if you prefer, you can copy your capture straight to the clipboard. You can also share your captures through email or an ftp client. If you want to use SnagIt’s, you can sign up for a free account with 2GB of storage. SnagIt allows you to share your captures through a variety of methods. Below is a screen grab illustrating some of the tools and effects.
You can apply effects only to the entire screen shot (but not parts of it). Effects include borders, perspective, reflection, and shadow. Tools include cropping, arrows, text, call out boxes, blur, and more. SnagIt offers a ton of editing options, and you can even combine captures together. There are two editing sets: Tools and Effects.
If you’ve enabled the pop out menu, simply click on the little tablet icon to open the editing window.
In preferences you can tell SnagIt’s editing window to open automatically after each grab or, if you prefer, you can open it manually. One cool feature is that when you edit the screen capture, you can move the arrow cursor anywhere you want. You can also tell SnagIt whether or not you want the arrow cursor to appear in your snag. If you click on the gear icon, you can delay the capture and even select how long the delay should be. If you click on the arrow beside the red photo button, you can choose from all-in-one capture or window capture. The pop out window offers several options (these can also be accessed via preferences). Click on the yellow button and the entire web page is captured. Simply move your cursor over the arrow and a message pops up asking if you want to capture the vertical scrolling area. If you notice a yellow arrow at the bottom of the screen, that means SnagIt can capture more content even if you have to scroll down to see it. SnagIt provides grid lines and automatically highlights open windows or portions of windows, so you don’t even need to click and drag. Simply tap on the tab, click the red photo button, and you’re good to go. SnagIt can be invoked with a hotkey and/or the menu bar, but it also offers an additional option: an unobtrusive pop out window that is always accessible with one click.
