I just had it installed on my work PC, however, when I click on it, I am unable to input any text. I'm stumped. I cannot figure out why the callout feature is not working on SnagIt 10.0.

I literally spent HOURS using Google and restating my search. I tried to update the driver for my video card and then, I tried to figure out why it wouldn't update properly. I spend countless hours messing with settings, reading, throwing stuff, and just plain loosing my marbles! Well, FINALLY, I found something about Zone Alarm (A security suite) and I transposed the idea and went into my Webroot settings and chose the correct option to allow access to Snagit. EUREKA! There was also an option for the other capture programs I tried. It works just fine! Ok, first I will explain. Webroot, Zone Alarm, and I'm sure Kaspersky, Norton, and other anti-virus programs block the use of Snagit and other capture program that try to take screenshot of website with vital info on them. For instance, anything you typed like email, bank account, google searches, or any site in general where you entered anything, will be unable to be captured. The reason for this, is to stop hackers from remotely taking a screen shot of lets say your Chase account information. If the hacker can take screenshots without your knowledge, they can get important info to do bad things with your account. So you have to find the setting to allow Snagit.exe or which ever program you use to allow the captures. Once done, you will be able to take screenshots again. YAY! I will explain how to do this in Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete. Keep in mind no matter which antivirus you use, there should be a way to do this. If you can't google search how, contact your manufacturer. Ok, here goes: Steps: 1. Open Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete. (Use the desktop shortcut if that's easy or use Start>All Programs>Webroot SecureAnywhere folder>Webroot SecureAnywhere icon.) 2. Click the Identity and Privacy tab on left. 3. Click on the "View/Edit Applications" link. 4. Scroll until you see the name of your screen capture program. In my case its under "snagit32.exe in C:\program files (86)\techsmith\snagit 10". 5. In the three columns there are buttons you can choose. They are: "Protect" "Allow" or "Deny". In my case all my programs were selected as "Deny". Click on the bubble in the "Protect" column. Not sure what the difference between this column and "Allow" are, but I chose "Protect. 6. Click close when done. 7. Close Webroot, since you are done. 8. Check to see if it worked by trying the same page that went black before. This should work. It sure did for me! I decided to share this post so I can save you all the hours of net digging I had to endure. Good Luck! I have a GREAT solution! I literally spent HOURS using Google and restating my search.

To rotate and get depth of an image like the book you are mentioning you can do this by going to Image/Effects and then chose perspective. That gives you the ability to create the depth in z-axis. Here you see the effect used on the SuperStamps image "Apply". Below you see the original and above the effect has been added. To get a good result you normally need to shrink the image size slightly after applying the effect. <img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/Peter-SoftwareCasa/folders/Uploads%20Snagit/media/89cd53b6-5959-4c04-8f14-a60d076ef2d4/01.25.2012-23.18.01.png" alt="Snagit Perspective Effect" /> I hope this helps.

I was wondering if you could post a tutorial on how to rotate an image along the z axis. I am not sure how to describe it, but you generally see this sort of thing in book promotions. They don't just have a 2D pic of a book, it's rotated for depth. I figure I could take a screen shot, add a shadow, then rotate along a z axis for the effect shown here: http://jonathanfields.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/uncertaintyBanner.jpg However, I have no idea how to do this.
