Editor's review of SnagIt

SnagIt 9 makes sceen shots as glamorous as they'll get, letting you capture any part of your screen, from a partial image to the entire contents of a scrolling window. You can grab images of Web sites and software applications or pictures from scanners and digital cameras. You even can capture video and record screen action in AVI format.

Version 9 completely overhauls the interface to bring the wide range of editing tools and effects to the surface with a simplified, icon-oriented menu structure that makes SnagIt even more flexible and easy to use. Tools to draw, resize, recolor, and annotate the images are there, as is a menu to add rollover hotspots for linking an image to a URL.

SnagIt 9 also adds automatic image-tagging, a library for saving and indexing every capture, and an image tray for getting to the most recent opened captures. Balloon tips, wizards, and an online video tutorial make it simple for beginners, and its sophisticated capabilities will satisfy advanced users.

  Big Boy on the Block

  by: Syed Fahim Inaam on 11-Jun-2008 04:05:11 PM

  Pros: I have been an avid and paid Snagit user for the last couple of years. The product is stable, bundled with features and user friendly.

  The new Snagit 9 certainly brings important enhancements to the foray. First and foremost is the inclusion of Microsoft's Ribbon Technology amongst a whole range of other enhancements, which makes working with the software a breeze.

  Your 'capture' is imported automatically into its in-built editor, which is strong and permits your imagination to go wild.

  Another strong feature is its new storage database which makes locating image files easier than ever before.

  This version includes the possibility of handling multiple images simultaneously and that a real plus.

  The entire range of features can be explored at the developer site, which offers comparisons with previous versions.

  If you are looking at a Image Capturing Software and work with inclusion of a multitude of effects - this is the one for you! Enjoy!!!

  Cons: With relation to other capturing applications its a bit on the pricier side. But then you end up getting a much better and stable package on the whole.

  Works but tied to MS software.

  by: Hendreforgan on 25-Jun-2008 12:51:07 AM

  Pros: No problems with downloading, loading and running. No bugs using Vista. Clean interface.

  Cons: If all the software on your PC, not just the OS, is a Microsoft package then it should dove-tail well . . . but for those of us using open source applications you'll find it extremely frustrating that you can't change the "open with" defaults. So you save to file, close Snagit and then open what you want to view your file with . . . too much time.

  Excellent upgraded version!

  by: MrKhaki on 19-Jun-2008 02:38:51 PM

  Pros: I've been using SnagIt for years and the last version I had was v7. I just didn't see the benefit of upgrading. Then, along came v9... so many new features!

  Cons: It has taken a few days of infrequent use to get used to the new UI, but like Office 2007, it totally makes sense once you spend some time with it.

  Still, v9 is the most powerful version to date and well worth the purchase or upgrade.

  Wouldn't Wanna Own A Computer Without It....

  by: Finland on 10-Jul-2008 12:52:55 AM

  Pros: I don't know if it's just me - but computers should be able to do what this dose in the first place... Meaning, you really shouldn't have to buy this Outstanding Product... But computers fall so way short in their "so called" abilities to even think about trying to attempt what Snagit already is "a superior" in - that's it's pathetic - they really put the whole computer industry to shame (at least that's my opinion)... Snagit and Spell Catcher Plus (whishing that it had the "word search" of Franklin Speaking Dictionary, but) are the QUINTESSENCE of what a computer should be... With the above mentioned software I am Ready, Willing and Able....

  Cons: No Workbook's (to learn every little detail that this bad boy can do)... If "only" I could work for them, spell catcher plus (not forgetting Franlin somehow) I would make the Frankenstein the likes of which the world has never seen....
