SnagIt

October 25, 2005

Last week, I bought new soft­ware that I really like. It is called SnagIt. It allows you to cap­ture screen­shots. I had heard about it at the User Inter­face con­fer­ence I attended in Boston ear­lier this month.

I down­loaded a trial ver­sion and after using it once, decided to buy it. What I really like about it is that you can take a screen­shot of a web­site and scroll down to cap­ture the entire length of the page, which you can­not do by just doing a print screen in Win­dows. Also, it is smart enough that you can just cap­ture a cer­tain ele­ment on your screen. This cuts down on the process of hav­ing to go into my graphic edit­ing pro­gram to cut down images to just what I want.

You can also apply effects like torn edge with SnagIt. For $40, it is a nice lit­tle program.
