Can you possibly have too many features?
We reviewed SnagIt 8.2 and this thing does so much, it'd take me a month to write about it all. Instead, I'm just going to go down a quick bullet list of some of the features:

• Image capture: entire screen, window, active window, region, fixed region, object, menu, scrolling window, scrolling region, scrolling active window, freehand region, ellipse, rounded rectangle, triangle, polygon, clipboard, graphic file, program file, full screen DOS, Direct X, extended window, wallpaper, scanners, cameras, and Web page with links.

• Text Capture: entire screen, window, active window, region, fixed region, object, scrolling window, scrolling region, scrolling active window, clipboard, and full-screen DOS

• Video capture: entire screen, window, active window, region, and fixed region

• Web capture: all files from a Web page or Web site, files off Web pages linked to original page

• Output: Easily send captures from SnagIt, send to printer, save to Clipboard, save to file (over 23 formats, including: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, PSD, TIF, EPS, PDF), send to email, send to SnagIt Catalog, FTP to Web, send within Instant Messenger, send to an external program, multiple combination of any or all

• Organize: Manage your images all at once, catch conversion of images, view thumbnails of all captures, print multiple images, email multiple images, set images as wallpaper, navigate and manage folders quickly with Catalog, create a themed Web page of your images and screen captures with the step-by-step wizard

In addition to "basic" capture features, SnagIt includes a full editor. Those features include vector-based editing, drawing tools, highlights, frames, borders, drop shadows, edge effects (torn, faded, shark tooth, saw, beveled and wave edge), text boxes, annotations, stamps, arrows, sticky notes, interactive canvas, color adjustment (hue, saturation, gamma and more), creating and saving custom annotation shapes, eliminating unwanted areas of screen captures (crop, cut and join features), image processing (mosaic, sharpen, emboss, oilify, underlay, solarize, edge enhance and more), smooth scaling, color resolution settings, callouts, add flash hotspots with pop-ups, and more.

You want more? OK, here goes. SnagIt can also create capture profiles, schedule screen captures with time delay, import/export profiles to use on multiple computers or share with others, automatic file naming - with 19 different file name components, set individual hotkeys for each capture profile, one-click screen capture with SnagIt OneClick, three different viewing options (normal, classic, compact), include cursor in your captures, place in the toolbar of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Internet Explorer and the menu of Adobe FrameMaker, integrate SnagIt into any program that supports COM access with the COM Server.
