CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
SnagIt 9 makes sceen shots as glamorous as they'll get, letting 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.
Version 9 completely overhauls the interface to bring the wide range of editing tools and effects to the surface with a simplified, icon-oriented menu structure that makes SnagIt even more flexible and easy to use. Tools to draw, resize, recolor, and annotate the images are there, as is a menu to add rollover hotspots for linking an image to a URL.
SnagIt 9 also adds automatic image-tagging, a library for saving and indexing every capture, and an image tray for getting to the most recent opened captures. Balloon tips, wizards, and an online video tutorial make it simple for beginners, and its sophisticated capabilities will satisfy advanced users.

Version: SnagIt 9.0
Pros: I have been an avid and paid Snagit user for the last couple of years. The product is stable, bundled with features and user friendly.
The new Snagit 9 certainly brings important enhancements to the foray. First and foremost is the inclusion of Microsoft's Ribbon Technology amongst a whole range of other enhancements, which makes working with the software a breeze.
Your 'capture' is imported automatically into its in-built editor, which is strong and permits your imagination to go wild.
Another strong feature is its new storage database which makes locating image files easier than ever before.
This version includes the possibility of handling multiple images simultaneously and that a real plus.
The entire range of features can be explored at the developer site, which offers comparisons with previous versions.
If you are looking at a Image Capturing Software and work with inclusion of a multitude of effects - this is the one for you! Enjoy!!!
Cons: With relation to other capturing applications its a bit on the pricier side. But then you end up getting a much better and stable package on the whole.

Version: SnagIt 9.0
"Works but tied to MS software."
Pros: No problems with downloading, loading and running. No bugs using Vista. Clean interface.
Cons: If all the software on your PC, not just the OS, is a Microsoft package then it should dove-tail well . . . but for those of us using open source applications you'll find it extremely frustrating that you can't change the "open with" defaults. So you save to file, close Snagit and then open what you want to view your file with . . . too much time.
