For blogging, writing, creating presentations (PPT), proposals, documentation and even communicating via email a good image capture device is key. For a few months now I’ve been using SnagIt and can tell why it got a ”Five Star” rating as one of PC Magazine’s most useful utilities. You can hit your ‘Print Screen’ button and use your cursor to outline any region on the screen. You can also click to capture and entire page, SnagIt will scroll through a webpage no matter how long of a scroll it is. You can also add callouts, borders, drop shadows etc., and SnagIt is a very light wieght application – you won’t have to stop everything and wait for Photoshop to open and drain most of your system memory.

Showing someone exactly what you see on your screen is sometimes the quickest and clearest way to communicate. With SnagIt, you can select anything on your screen – an area, image, article, Web page, or error message – and capture it. Then, save the screen capture to a file, send it to SnagIt’s editor to add professional effects, share it by e-mail, or drop it into PowerPoint®, Word®, or another favorite application.
