SnagIt is a great resource with a free 30-day trial that helps reduce the size of screen shots. If you are creating a tutorial or even an educational resource for students, you can “capture” your picture to incorporate into your lecture. In PowerPoint, you have to create the screen shot, arrow, text box…and the list goes on. Oh, and what about changing your slide around a bit? You have to change/move everything! With SnagIt, you only have to move one object and you’re done!
If you have many screens shots to include in your presentation, you can reduce the size of it to carry with you on your flash drive, rather than taking your entire computer! Explore your options by downloading your free trial today…
I live and breathe Snag It in my new position. We create tutorials and handouts for teachers and students when we do trainings. I can’t image trying to do this with screenshots from my computer alone. Snag It is a great way to keep the size of the file small.
