I have received so many comments on my posts with this question:
What are you using to get those screen shots and torn edges around them? Also, what are you using to get those red arrows on your screen shots.
So instead of answering each one of those comments with the details I just wrote this quick post about it.
Cyndee Haydon turned me on to this cool tool. It is called, Snagit. You can try it out for 30 days for FREE. You do not even have to give your credit card number in order to do the FREE trial. After that it is only $39.95 for a one time price. Not per month, not per year, just one time! Next to mybloglog it is the best tool I purchased last year.
Here is a screen shot I just took of the home page for Snagit. I captured a part of the screen and then it automatically gets put into the Snagit editor where I just simply clicked on the torn edges feature and this is the result. Very simple to do. You can capture any part of the screen you want to capture.
In the above screen shot I just took a smaller section of the larger image you see above of the Snagit home page and then instead of using torn edges, I added the dropped shadow feature to this box. Easy!
At first I was a bit intimidated to use it but the tutorials are so easy. I made some mistakes and still do but I practise and love the results I am getting.
You can capture any screen and any portion of the screen. You can also capture anything that is on your computer. It is easy to edit with the edges and there are a multitude of edging effects that you can use. This is way better than using screen capture or using your print screen button. Snagit is much more versatile and obviously much better to apply to presentations.
Then you can add arrows, highlights, bubbles with text in them, stamps and much more. I have only been using Snagit for about 2 months now and I learn something else to do with it each time I open it up and use it. In the above screen capture I used the red arrows. You can change them to whatever color you like. Then I used a faded edge finishing touch. You can see how the edges are faded. The call out buttons are really fun too.
You are only limited by your own imagination. There are so many cool ways to use this tool. I highly recommend it and thank you Cyndee for sharing this with me.
