For a window capture, simply mouse over the window that you’d like to capture and the tool automatically sticks to the edges. With the All-in-One Capture tool, whatever ends up in the orange box gets captured. Either way, when you go into capture mode, all traces of Snagit for Mac skedaddle, leaving you with a clear shot of your desktop. You can also activate the capture tool by clicking the icon in the status bar at the top of the screen. For convenience sake, I set my global hotkey to Shift-Command-1, thereby overriding OS X’s built-in screen capture hotkey.

You can either click the red Capture button that hides unobtrusively in the Snagit drawer on your desktop or uses the global hotkey. There are two ways to activate the All-in-One Capture with Snagit for Mac.

Sounds pretty standard, I know, but the true joy of working with Snagit is the signature TechSmith ease and intuitiveness that this company infuses in each of its products.

Organization – Stress-free capture tray lets you keep track of recent captures and Auto-Storing gives you peace of mind that all your work is saved and secure.

Also has built-in FTP, email, and publishing interfaces.

Sharing – Go from Snagit Editor to iWork, Microsoft Office, and other applications with a simple drag-and-drop.

Blur lets you censor appropriate data as well.

Effects – Borders, shadows, perspectives, and custom edges give an extra touch of class to your captures.

Attractive call-outs and markup – Snagit’s wide range of customizable arrows, speech bubbles, shape, and highlights bring clarity to your screenshots with a professional look and feel.

Handy for capturing menus, contextual menus, splash screens, and other fleeting moments.

Delay capture – Set up a delay to capture the screen as-is.

Grab a screenshot of a window, region, the entire desktop, or even a scrolling window all with a single hotkey.

All-in-one Capture – Snagit for Mac’s capture interface is slick and smart.

Anyway, let me outline the top features before diving into the screenshot tour and review. But Mac/Windows users like myself who received a free license for Snagit for Mac along with their Snagit 10 purchase will have some minor adjustments to make on the OS X side. Those of you who are new to Snagit will be well rewarded for investing $49.95 USD into this product. Don’t let the low version number throw you, however, Snagit for Mac is every bit as full-featured and intuitive as Snagit 10 for Windows.
