TechSmith delivers Snagit 10
Smarter capture increases productivity, new features enhance
professional screenshot sharing and collaboration

Okemos, Mich. – May 11, 2010 – TechSmith Corp. today announced the release of Snagit 10, the world’s leading screen capture solution. The major release offers both new and existing customers opportunities for a streamlined capture, edit, share, and organize solution that fits into everyday computing tasks while providing a better overall user experience.

“I’m finding any excuse I can to take screenshots with Snagit 10. I use them to show examples to colleagues, to copy information for visual reference, and of course, to use in documentation,” said Sandra Collins, web developer and learning program manager at Hewlett-Packard. “I don’t have to think about what kind of capture I do. I just do it, and figure out how I will use it later. Will I need the links? Do I want the whole scrolling web page? Using All-in-One Capture in Snagit 10, I can have whatever I want.”

A short screencast of what’s new in Snagit 10 can be viewed here and a free trial of the software can be downloaded here.

“Millions of users worldwide rely on Snagit to communicate ideas faster, explain concepts clearly and archive electronic information,” said Tiffany Wood, Snagit product manager at TechSmith. “As with every major release of Snagit, we focused on delivering the features and functionality our longtime users demand while keeping the program easy to adopt for new users.”

New features and functionality in Snagit 10 include:

• All-in-One Capture—Select a full screen, region, window or auto-scrolling (vertical and horizontal) area during the capture process with a single hot key or mouse click; enhanced magnifier window and cross-hairs give exact, down-to-the-pixel precision when performing a region capture.
• Transparency—Remove the solid white background to allow captured images to float seamlessly on web pages, complex presentation slides and color documents.
• New text possibilities—Capture and edit hard-to-grab text from websites and applications along with all its formatting. Edit text color, font style, size and more with easy-to-use Snagit editing tools. Rotate text boxes a full 360 degrees.
• Direct output to Screencast.com– The TechSmith hosting service is a free, quick and easy solution for sharing and storing screen captures and gathering feedback without having to send email attachments. The new Screencast.com direct output enables any capture to be made public, private or password-protected; file owners can choose to receive email notification when a viewer comments on their capture.
• New edge effects—Page curl is a fresh, modern look and new horizontal and vertical cut-out effects remove unwanted sections of a web page or image.
• Auto-scroll enhancement—Faster auto-scroll capture includes a new notification window to signify when scrolling is in progress.
• Editor Color Options—Responding to a popular customer request, change the color of the Snagit 10 editor background to blue or silver, or keep the default black.
