TechSmith's Help section of their website (which opens when you select SnagIt Help from the Help menu) wasn't updated for v4, so a lot of the info is incorrect for that version. Why do it at all if the result will always unclear? Maybe SnagIt should come with a pair of corrective glasses for viewing exported PDF files. That's something I told them about last year. There were no improvements to the way images are exported to PDF, so they're still blurry. It works pretty good but would be better if it could scroll an entire window on its own, like the regular scrolling capture does vertically.Īlthough a 'fill' function was added, you still can't fill a selected region. The new Panoramic capture doesn't function automatically, you must drag the region to be captured. Can't remember the name of the last one? TOO BAD! The Undo function doesn't work at all for text changes.Ĭhanged colors and want to go back? You'll have to select a new color in the picker.Ĭhanged font and want to go back? You'll have to select a new one. This makes the Line Width slider ambiguous at first. In the Arrow tool the Width slider DOES control the line width. At the lowest setting individual letters are outlined, but when you get over 3.0 the outline becomes more like a balloon effect around entire words. It actually creates an outline AROUND the text. This slider has nothing to do with the width of the text. The Text tool includes one poorly-named function - the Line Width slider. Next time I need an exact color it's back to Google again! So I was forced to waste time Googling to find codes for the colors I use, then I could add them to the palette for later use. I almost always use the same few colors for annotating my screenshots and I want them the same each time, not to settle for something close in the wheel.

If you want any others you must enter RGB values or try to find one you like in the color wheel. There are now just 12 colors (including black & white) to choose from. The color picker was considerably changed for the worse and you can no longer choose from a box of crayons or web-safe colors. I've written several complaints to the company, and received nothing but apologies and promises to share my feedback with the development team. Version 4 is a mess! To me it's a downgrade from v3.
