Hello Snagit Fans,

If you are a real Snagit Fan am sure you already own the new Superstamps add-on. If you don’t own it yet its not too late to enjoy the full potential of Snagit you can get a copy of the new Superstamps here.

Already own Superstamps 197 collection but not sure how to use it with your Snagit application?

Follow the simple step by step instructions below:

Step 1

Download and Install your Snagit.

Step 2

Download the Superstamps.

Superstamps does not need installation, you can just lift it into the stamp folder. As you have no outside directory for your stamps you could place it in the Snagit 9 folder located:

C:\Program Files\TechSmith\SnagIt 9\Stamps

You do this by just clicking on the folder and dragging it into the folder above.

Step 3

Open your Snagit Editor and from your “Draw Tab” click on the stamp icon to view stamp samples. Click the down arrow, to view existing stamps from the style box, . This will show all available images and categories.

*This box automatically pops up after clicking the down arrow*

Step 4:

Click on “Organize Stamps” a box will pop up providing you additional options.

*To add the Superstamps folder simply click on the “Stamp folder” button to start browsing your unzipped folder of superstamps on your computer.*

Step 5:

Select the unzipped folder of Superstamps from your computer by double clicking it. After the folder has been successfully added click close to finish.

Voila! It’s done.

Get your Free Superstamps mini pack here and follow the same steps when adding it to your collection. If you like it, go on and get the full version with 197 new professional superstamps none of which are included in the minipack!

Enjoy Stamping

Cool Text Art

I do find that most Snagit fans (like me) enjoy working with both graphics and text. You find many Snagit users among technical writers for example.

So I found this little free online application that you can create “wordart”. Don’t know if there’s such a word but it sounds fitting.

The service is called Wordle and the image you see above was created by just inputting the text from one of my articles on Snagit Guide and out came this wonderful image.

My kids is in the learning to read age so I printed out a couple for them too and they just love finding the words in it.

So, what are you waiting for, go create your own word art and tell me all about it in the comment area.

Until next time

Thanks goes out to Ryan Trauman for the initial tip about this site.

Interview with a Snagit Fanatic – Part 2

peter — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:48:01 +0000

Time to publish the rest of the interview with Lisa. She sent me a suitable picture for halloween

In the first part Lisa was telling us some Snagit secrets. If you haven’t read part 1 yet, that’s the place to start.

Today Lisa will share some funny experiences she has had related to Snagit.

So Lisa, take it away, do you have any funny Snagit stories to share?

I have so many good stories from working with our customers. I received a call one day from a parent whose son was using SnagIt (and Camtasia Studio) for their project for the science fair. The judges of the competition were so impressed that the student not only won hands down but his project went off to be judged in the National Science Fair in Washington, D.C.

That’s a winner to me!! I’ve got many funny stories as well. Recently our VP of Business Development went to China for a business trip. Some of the ladies there told him on numerous occasions that he looks like Colonel Sanders. We think not. However, I couldn’t resist the urge to snag his head and place it over the snagged image of the face of Col. Sanders on a bucket of chicken and send it to him and select coworkers! He was glad we didn’t see the resemblance!

I also recently doctored up a photo for a friend who was in the dating scene. He had a picture from a camping trip at waters edge with his shirt off. He had a bit of a pot-belly (from too much beer) but wanted to use that photo. Well, thanks to SnagIt my friend now looks like he has a trim stomach! He’s a devoted SnagIt user now.

That’s cool. I agree there are plenty of fun things you can do with the Snagit Editor. So what about funny client stories?

I had a husband call me one day to order a second license of SnagIt a few days after his first purchase. He said that he and his wife were fighting over whom could use the license because they both wanted to use the software. They knew that only one person could use the one license.

Well, she got early the next morning, grabbed the software box and ran off with it to work! I guess the early bird really does get the worm!

I also had a customer contact me from Iraq. He was a Marine stationed over there; his family was here in the states. He wanted to email photos of him and his fellow patriots having fun and playing sports in the camp but they were too large and some details were not allowed to be transmitted. He was able to purchase a license to use SnagIt, doctor the photos, blur out some details and send a much smaller file home to his family. They have since recommended it to other soldiers and their families for this purpose.

And, by the way, I have used SnagIt SIX times since completing this interview!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Lisa.

Always my pleasure to work with you, Peter.
