TechSmith releases SnagIt 8

I love SnagIt and have used it exclusively for screenshots since 2003. I've got all sorts of profiles defined that make my life much easier (all assigned to keystrokes, of course). The included editor lets me crop areas, add text, resize graphics (when I didn't resize them on capture), and more.

So I'm thrilled to see the new features that TechSmith has included with version 8. They've changed the design of the Profiles screen, making it even easier to grab screenshots and to see the details for each profile. They've also enhanced the editor (which I use a lot).

And they've added some new features that will help me when supporting clients. SnagIt now lets you capture a Web page as a graphic, but the links aren't static; they are embedded, as long as you save the graphic in a format that supports embedded links, such as PDF (a new SnagIt output format) or Flash. There's also a feature that lets you create interactive graphics (like imagemaps).

If you're looking for a screen capture tool, check out SnagIt. And if you already use it, plan on upgrading...you'll be glad you did.
