SnagIt Version 9.1

by TechSmith

Product Features

• Go with the flow-How do you want to snag? Are you all about capture-capture-capture? Capture-edit-capture-edit? Or a simple capture-send? However you want to do it, SnagIt now plays along. The old, linear workflow is gone. You can almost taste the freedom.
• Combine images easily-SnagIt makes it easy to combine images. Just drag-and-drop screen captures from the new Open Captures Tray onto the canvas. That's it!
• Save nothing...save everything-SnagIt now stores every screen capture automatically. Don't feel any pressure to name the capture or decide where to save it...until you're ready for that kind of commitment.
• Find your stuff- If you can remember even one detail—like the approximate date or the Web site you captured—you'll find your capture with a click. SnagIt keeps track of these details, so you don't have to.
• Get organized (if you want to)-As you capture images for next month's big project, tag them with "big project" or set the "Important" flag. No need to save anything in folders...just come back next month and view all your big project files with a click!

3.0 out of 5 stars Some improvements. Some flops. January 27, 2009

By J. Vaughn

I loved Snagit 7 and 8. I've always been a fan of this product, and working in technical support, I can honestly say I use this software every day - for troubleshooting and documentation. I upgraded to version 9 after I used the trial version for a week. The trial version was very slow, but I assumed that was due to it being "trial". I assumed the paid version would be much faster. I was wrong. Press the "Print Screen" key, and sit back. Versions 7 & 8 were instantaneous. Version 9 takes a full two seconds to begin capturing, and then another two seconds to launch the "Editor". Also, in version 8, all my captures saved as JPG. In 9, they save as PNG. Why isn't there a setting to allow users to set the default file type? Finally, the "capture history" feature might be useful for some folks, but I find it very annoying, and wish there was some way to disable it. I would honestly wait until version 9.1 or until Techsmith works on the speed issues at least.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iffy interface but nifty features August 14, 2008

By Ron Edison

For someone like me who makes a living as a technical writer and instructional designer, Snagit is indispensable. The new interface may take some getting used to, but then the 8.0 interface was almost insultingly simplistic--it looked to me like it was designed by Fisher Price or Lego. With 9.0 I found myself able to do all the same functions that I depended on with earlier versions. The interface may have a look and feel that's comforting to Office 2007 users, but since I don't plan on migrating to Office 2007 or Vista, that aspect is lost on me. I hope TechSmith perfects their Mac version of Snagit soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Should Snag - Snag It! September 18, 2008

By Thomas E. Wilson

I appreciated the sniping tool in Vista -- but I hated Vista so much I reinstalled XP. So I missed the sniping tool and Googled for a solution and found Snag It! Snag It! is far, far superior to the simpleton tool Microsoft had (SURPRISE.

I whole heartly recommend this if you need to send screen shots with comments.
