SnagIt – A Great Screen Capture Tool

In the last couple of weeks, I've been take a large number of sceenshots.  The process normally involved, PRINT SCREEN, copy into (insert software of choice: paintbrush, PowerPoint, etc…), crop, and then save as an image. 

The last couple of days I've been using SnagIt, and it's been great.  It allows me to use my mouse to capture any part of my screen.  This includes the ability to capture an entire window in one image even if the image requires scrolling.  Very nice.

In addition to image captures, SnagIt is great for capturing video.  Recently, we had a presentation to make, where internet access was iffy.  Instead of worrying about having internet access, we used SnagIt to prepare a video demo of our site.  The process was very simple, and the quality of the video was great (the lower the monitor resolution the better). 

I know this might sound like an advertisement, but I haven't been paid anything to promote this product.  SnagIt has a free 30 trial, which I would recommend for anyone who spends more then 10 minutes a day taking screenshots.
