Selected items in the tray display their measurements but they can be cropped and the surrounding canvas expanded. The screen shot or capture appears in the middle, with tools/effects and properties to the right and the tray where your captures and media (you can open other images to add to your file) are collected at the bottom. This is the real powerhouse behind the software and the options here will bring a big smile to your face! You can set Snagit to open your captures immediately in the built-in editor. In a browser window, you have the option to capture the whole page as scrolling down, left/right can be included in the capture. In the Safari browser, Snagit is able to select icons, address bars, tabs and graphic elements automatically – what a treat! (If only it had the hex picker too, then I wouldn’t need the ColorZilla browser extension!) Like Snapz, there is a magnified Loupé which gives you a readout of the dimensions. Once you opt for a screen capture, orange guides appear and intelligently snap around your windows to make selections easier. (There is an option to capture from a webcam too, but on a Mac with Photo Booth built-in, that is a bit of a redundant option. There are additional shortcuts to quickly capture windows and menus.

You can drag it up and down the edge of your screen, move it over to the left, undock it or hide it altogether. This is the Capture Window, and it hides itself neatly away when not in use. The first time you launch Snagit after installing, you are greeted with a prompt that appears at the right-hand edge of your screen. It is available for both Mac and PC and you can download a trial version here on the TechSmith website.
