CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Capturing screenshots may not be glamorous, but at least SnagIt makes it simple. SnagIt lets you capture any part of your screen, from a partial image to the entire contents of a scrolling window. You can grab images of Web sites and software applications or pictures from scanners and digital cameras. You even can capture video and record screen action in AVI format.
Editing tools let you manipulate and enhance captures using effects (such as Brightness, Hue, and Saturation), filters, and borders. You can add arrows, substitute colors in the captured image, or create dark or light backgrounds with a single click. Version 8 adds several interactive features, such as saving Web pages with HTML links, adding hot spots and rollover states to objects and areas, and exporting files in SWF and PDF formats.
This program outdoes itself in features, so figuring out the menu structure may take a while, but the GUI additions in version 8 are a welcome addition. Unfortunately, the latest update is just as slow to start as the last version. Even with its package of powerful options, we found SnagIt flexible and easy to use. Balloon tips, wizards, and an online video tutorial make it simple for beginners, and its sophisticated capabilities will satisfy advanced users.

Version: SnagIt 8.1
Pros: i never have use softwares to capture window screen other than alt+shift+ctrl+PrintScreen. so i was wondering why do i need software to do my screen capture when i can just press a few buttons on the keyboard to do the capturing. anyhow, i give this program a try.
damn, it was great. excellent software.
it does more than just capturing window screen. it pack with features to make the capture a lot easier. like just capture a single picture or sentences without the entire windows screen. this software let you save in many different formats too. it also let you edit text once it capture an interesting features.
Cons: there are copyrighted stuffs online. so you should be careful of what you capturing. 'cause this program will allow you to capture it. but as long as you don't use it for something stupid(you know what i mean)then you should be fine.
