"The most smart and easiest screen capture tool"

Pros:
It's a versatile tool for screen capture, such as graphics, videos, and even text from desktop. The operations are easier than any other picture capture program and there are other strong functions for users to edit, crop and add effects to graphics.

Cons:
Some settings need improving better and there is a lack of effects as Fireworks or Photoshop provides. No Mac version at the moment.

Highlight:

What if you want to take a snapshot of a small toolbar or something like that? Use Alt+Print Screen? Sometimes, it doesn't work. This tool always works for you whenever you want to capture, for it contains sufficient functions to get quick capture of everything of your desktop.

You can capture everything through this tool, I'm not exaggerating, for it offers you any capture means on its interface - Image, Text, Video, or Web is up to you.
Do not worry about the operations because the considerate illustrations will guide you.

Should you decide to make your outputs, it would certain help you choose the type of your favorite and it supports GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TIFF, TXT, and AVI. As I mentioned above, you can even capture video files by this tool.

Wonder if it could capture as many as you want? Certainly it supports batch - process files; this tool performs at satisfying speed to accomplish. Thereupon, you can capture what you want without worry at all.

The Web Capture tool acts admirably; it helps you grab all the GIF, JPEG, and PNG files off a Web site at one time. When you select this function, you can capture, convert, and compile your web pictures.

In short, Snagit can grab graphics, texts, videos, and Web images for you.



Setup:
The navigation of installation is easy to follow the command, thus you can install it without questions. We have tested it clean for use.

It provides users a shortcut for uninstall; click "Uninstall" and the whole program will be fast removed.

Interface:
When I first tried this tool, it popped up a prompt to show tips of use. It's very friendly to novices before using this tool. The main interface shows some different capture ways which is very practical for both beginners and advanced users to try.

Each functional tab exemplifies and shows its function concretely, thus ensures every user will not be perplexed.

System Requirements
It's a piece of good news for Vista users, since Snagit is able to run on Vista Platform; additionally, it is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP. The RAM requires 128MB or higher; it takes up 26.44MB hard drive space after installation. Your configurations are qualified enough, aren't they?

Conclusion
I was totally impressed by its powerful settings for picture editing, not only screen capture, but also help us edit, crop and add effects to our images.

It's very nice for beginners to start his image editing skills, for Adobe PhotoShop is quite powerful and a little hard to operate at first. If you are a seasoned picture editor, Photoshop as well as Fireworks is appropriate.
