Download.com Review of SnagIt

Capturing screenshots may not be glamorous, but SnagIt can turn this chore into a quick walk in the park.

SnagIt lets you capture any part of your screen, from a partial image to the entire contents of a scrolling window. In fact, you can snag anything you see on Web sites and software applications, grab images from scanners or digital cameras, or capture video and record screen action in AVI format.

The Editor and Studio tools appeal to creative types.

Editing tools let you manipulate and enhance captures using effects (such as Brightness, Hue, and Saturation), filters, and borders. You can add arrows, substitute colors in the captured image, or create dark or light backgrounds with a single click.

This program outdoes itself in features, so it may take a while to figure out the menu structure. However, even with its package of powerful options, we found SnagIt to be a flexible and easy-to-use program.

Balloon tips and an online video tutorial make it work for beginners, and sophisticated capabilities--such as the ability to export images to graphic applications, to send text and images to a word-processing document or spreadsheet, and to make direct e-mail captures--will satisfy advanced users.
