Need some help expressing your emotions?

Using SuperStamps Monsters I put together a set of 20 Emoticons / Smileys that you can download for free. This is quickly and easily done just by dragging the different parts such as eyes, mouth and other items onto the emoticon.

I tried to create a set that covers a broad spectrum of emotions, maybe not one for every feeling, but at least a few of them :-)

I hope you will have great use of them. There are 20 different icons included.

You can install and use them directly from inside the Snagit Editor. They are all in PNG format with the size 200×200 pixels with transparent background.

See below for a complete overview of the included images. You could use them in your Blogposts, reports, or just paste them into your emails when you feel you want to add that extra feeling.

I have to tell you something, but I don’t have much time…

Something strange has happened here. I started experimenting with Snagit and I discovered something. Something horrifying I cannot fully comprehend or even begin to explain. And I am afraid my time is running out.

I will try to get more information to you shortly, but I think they are watching me…

I am scared, very scared.

I warned you but look for yourself if you dare…

Much anticipated Snagit for Mac has been beta tested by 100,000 users and is now finally released. Check out more details about Snagit on Mac.

I use Snagit to make my presentations pop

“I’m using a lot of the new features in Snagit to produce quality presentations that are really eye catching. Snagit allows me to gather information from multiple sources and assemble my ideas in a fast, friendly and effective manner that never fails to impress the client. You’ve just got to get Snagit if you’re serious about what you do. It’s great! It is so much fun to work with that it doesn’t feel like work. You’ve gotta try it. It’s gonna blow your mind.”– Edward Snow, IT manager

Features on Mac

More than just simple screen capture, Snagit empowers you to communicate faster, clearly explain concepts, and archive digital information. All with point and click convenience. You can easily capture, edit, and share a screenshot of exactly what you see on your screen. The more you use Snagit, the more ways you’ll find to use it.

Top Mac Features

Snag anything, on the fly. Grab your entire desktop, a region, a window, or a scrolling window from any webpage or application—all with a single hotkey or click.

Window Capture

Capture any window you have open from your favorite applications, websites, email and more.

Delay Capture

Take the time to set up what you want to capture—like a menu—then snag it when you’re ready.

Handy Tools

Draw attention with customizable arrows, colorful speech bubbles, unique stamps and more.

Add Effects

Add effects like a special border, shadow and perspective to your entire capture. Or, create your own custom style.

Combine Images

Drag a previous capture onto the canvas of an image you’re working on. Layer, combine, add more effects…it’s up to you.

Share Anywhere

Drag-and-drop your finished images from Snagit straight into your favorite applications; including all iWork solutions, Microsoft Office products and more!

Multiple Outputs

Send your capture to Screencast.com and share a URL or embed in your blog. Or, share through your Mail or Entourage account, FTP server, or to your clipboard in a click.

Capture Tray

Archive the most recent captures and opened images. The capture you select in the tray is the one you’ll see on the canvas.

You’ll never lose your work again. Snagit automatically stores any unsaved captures for you.

snagit10-out-now“Snagit 10.0 – Oh, yea…”

Your favorite screen capture software Snagit just came in a brand new fully upgraded version, Snagit 10. The new version is loaded with a lot of amazing stuff.

A new feature that will mean a big difference in how you work with Snagit is the All-in-one Capture. This means you  no longer need to choose what you want to capture beforehand (area, window, screen and so on), but instead you do this at the same time that you are capturing the screen. This is an fantastic improvement, but really only one of many…

This website is mostly about Snagit. I don’t talk much (here) about other great software titles. In many ways, especially video recording, the big brother of Snagit is really Camtasia Studio. Well this post is a tribute to that big brother.

If Snagit is the ultimate tool to take any kind of screen shots, copy text, images and what-not from your screen, then Camtasia is the ultimate tool to record video from your screen. This is excellent when you want to create tutorials or any kind of instructional videos related to computer or internet use. Perfect to do software presentations, demos and so on.

Our all time favorite Screen Recording / Screencasting software Camtasia Studio is growing up. Camtasia was first released at Comdex 1999. Camtasia has come a long way in these last 10 years and are now available both on Mac and PC platform.

Techsmith compiled a cool timeline below that shows Camtasia milestones, advertising and logos, reviews, feature releases and technology milestones. Check it out:

Snagit for Mac Announced

powered by WordPress Multibox Plugin v1.3.5

Snagit for MacI have exciting news for all Macintosh users out there that has been waiting for Snagit for Mac. TechSmith (the maker of Snagit and Camtasia) has just announced that they are in the early development stages for Snagit on the Mac OS operating system.

The subject of Snagit for Mac is one of our most visited blog posts on this blog so the interest for this is nothing less than spectacular. Also the fact that many people that work within the graphics industry are working on Mac computers will also make this product one of the most interesting launches.

You can read the Betsy Webers blog post announcing the Snagit is coming news here. Betsy is mentioning that the product is in early development and my guess is that this means that it will be launched in a year or so. The announcement came only a day after the release of Camtasia for Mac.

We will be following the development of this product so if you are interested I suggest you sign up for our special Snagit for Mac subscriber list here.
