Thread: Snagit's editing features

Snagit 9.1 captures all or portions of what you see on your computer screen. You can set it to capture designated regions, windows, a full screen, scrolling win¬dows, and brief videos. Other than some minor cosmetic tweaks, version
9.1 doesn't make any changes to Snagit's screen capturing features. What it does enhance is Snagit's editing features.

One of these is a new Live Preview feature that lets you see what Snagit 9.1's editing options will look like before you apply them. All you have to do is mouse over the option in the tool bar, and you'll automatically see how the feature will make your image look.



The new Mini Toolbar is not as flashy, but it's also handy. When you apply an editing feature to your image, such as adding text, a mini tool-bar automatically pops up right next to where em you're working. This allows you to have easy access to some of the features you're likely to need, such as changing font or font size.

Other updates in Snagit 9.1 include an organised stamp gallery, which makes your stamps easier to find. And a new auto-store export feature builds on the auto-store feature introduced in version 9, which saves every screen capture automatically. The export feature lets you take

these unsaved screen captures to another computer, by exporting them to an optical or USB drive. The enhancements in Snagit 9.1 aren't major changes, but they're useful. If you already have an earlier version, it's worth upgrading to Snagit 9.1. And if you don't yet use this screen capture program, now is a great time to start.
