 Snagit
Snagit is a wonderful screen capture utility and is behind most of the screen shots on mrswizard.com, as well as screen shots I created for use in the newsletter (former), CompuQuickTips. All I have to do is hit the PrintScreen button on the keyboard, outline the area I want to capture, and save the image. You are not limited to plain rectangular captures either. There is a freehand capture setting that will knock your socks off.
Then it is just a matter of a few final tweaks in Photoshop (if I need to), and adding it to the tutorial. There are quite a few tweaking tools you can use right in the program. You can make notations with a text tool, draw attention to areas with the paint tool and even add special effects to the snaps themselves. Your only limit is your imagination. It is actually a very robust image editing program all by itself.
 Snagit is easy to install and won't gum up your system resources. There are plenty of advanced techniques to satisfy anyone, but even a beginner should be pretty comfortable using Snagit. To learn more, be sure to visit their website. You can download the software and try it out for FREE for 30 days. There is plenty of information in the Learning Center to help you make friends with it right away.
