Over the years, I’ve built up a toolkit of essential software, gadgets and reference material. This ‘toolkit’ series introduces some particular favorites that you, too, might find useful.
SnagIt
A lightweight, easy-to-use application that takes snapshots of what’s displayed on your computer screen.
Great for writing web site reviews, manuals and technical documentation for software systems, reports and proposals for design jobs.
Forget those old Command+Shift+3 (Mac) and CTRL+PrtSc (Windows) keyboard shortcuts that include everything currently visible on your monitor. With SnagIt you can specify which subsection of the screen you want to grab — just a few pixels, a dialogue box, a whole window…
SnagIt saves images into JPG, GIF, PDF and other common file formats. You can crop the picture, highlight specific areas, draw arrows and shapes, add text and do other basic image-editing tasks in SnagIt.
