Picture Capture Capturing pictures is extremely simple. Snagit gives you several different options for capturing a picture. These options include: "All in One" The smart "all in one" capture tool is a new addition to the software. This tool shows on the screen as a cross hair and allows the user to select the entire webpage, a certain section on the webpage (like the elatewiki logo at the top of this screen) or highlight a range of space on the screen (like all six tabs at the top of this screen). "Fullscreen" This option acts like the print screen button on your computer. It copies a picture of your computer screen into the Snagit editor. "Copy to clipboard" Copies a screen shot directly to the clipboard. This option skips Snagit's editing platform. "Copy Text to Clipboard" This option allows users to select text from a browser or website and import the selection into the Snagit editing platform. Here the user can make minor changes to their selection and send them on to the clipboard for addition to another file. "Freehand" Allows the user to select any region of the webpage. These selections can be nonlinear. “Menu With Time Delay” This option gives users ten seconds to navigate a series of menus before it captures a pictures. The option is useful when the user needs to show a certain menu that is only accessible through one or more menus.

10. Exporting Images in Snagit Snagit gives users several options for exporting their creations.
