#Snagit screenshot commands on mac software

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. Simple enough to remember and you can customise them if you prefer. Snagit will let you capture pictures and video and you use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl + shift + c for pictures, or ctrl + shift + v for video. Already, I’m hiding it and using the icon that appears in the menu bar, but it is good to have the choice! 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. LittleSnapper – Really easy naming and tagging of images within the app.īut, Snagit seems to have a more complete feature set that has been designed to meet the needs of people wanting to make screen captures with simplicity in mind.

Snapz Pro X – being able to resize the capture (with measurements) before taking it and the handy hex colour identifier.

OS X Grab – I often use it for a quick measurement, using the crosshair realtime pixel count to check styling on a website for example.

All of these have their plus points or little features that I like: There’s a similar story to my testing process here I’ve used the native OS X Grab app, Snapz Pro X and my long-term favourite, LittleSnapper.

Since my recent testing and use of Camtasia:mac, I’ve been trying out another product for screen capture on a Mac – Snagit, by the same company who make Camtasia. I’ve just been demoing Snagit screen capture software by TechSmith, makers of Camtasia, and felt another software review was in order! Which do I prefer in the Snagit vs LittleSnapper capture war?
