“Professional screen capture tool ”

by Jon Riggall about SnagIt

One of the most popular screen capture tools for Windows, SnagIt has now been released in beta for Mac users to check out. OSX has screen capture built-in, so can a dedicated program offer anything extra?

The answer to that is most definitely yes. SnagIt has a neat interface that sits at the edge of the screen, popping out when you scroll over it. Here you can take full screen, area or window captures. You can also zoom in to areas to capture too. If you don't want to use the SnagIt interface, you can use a hotkey command, which can be set to whatever you like. This already offers more than OSX alone, but there's more.

Once you've taken your screen capture. it is immediately opened in the SnagIt editor. Here you can resize, and reformat your image. You can also add highlights, blurs, arrows and much more - great if you want to create tutorials, or just add notes to a screenshot.

SnagIt is really easy to use, and the editor is great. While the effects in the interface are disabled in this beta, it's still an overall great product. Some people might find the side-hugging application annoying, but this isn't really an app you would run all the time, just when you need it. SnagIt beta is also unable to capture video.

SnagIt beta is a very promising application - it's stable, excellently presented and easy to use. This version is missing some capabilities but it's still very good.
