SnagIt v7.2.5-Screen Capture [27 October 2005]

SnagIt

SnagIt is a screen capture utility that allows you to capture, edit and organize any image or screenshot on your Windows PC.
More product information

At present I couldn't find any release notes about it, although you can download the update.

 

For general screen capturing, do you know what advantage this program has over capturing with Print Screen and importing into PhotoShop?

thanks,

-rich

Hi rich

It does a lot more then just taking a screen capture.
If I take a screen capture, I can use SnagIt's clipboard afterwards to paste immediately into Paint Shop Pro X.

Have a look at their website or view the online tutorials.

Here's already an overview.

 

Thanks Eric for the update-notice !

Cheers/groetjes, Jan.

 

I can do that with Print Screen and paste directly into PhotoShop.

I did look at the web site and I think it has a lot of editing features that I wouldn't normally use. Very impressive, though!!

Thanks for posting that - I'm sending the info to some other people.

My pleasure Jan.
Prettig weekend, Eric

Yes, Rich, you can do that with the Print Screen, but can you add text, arrows, effects, ... without even using PhotoShop.
In the past I always had to open PSP, but not anymore.

The best way to find out what it can do for you is trying it out IMHO. It certainly has a lot to offer.

You're welcome, thanks for letting other people know about this little gem.

 

This answers a question I was going to ask - thanks.
I have so many bookmarks to the various print screen applications to me as to which one would be the best to install.
I searched about yesterday with Hoversnap/faststone screen capture + others - going round in circles.

I knew there was one someone recommended to me ages ago and this name rang lots of bells.
Going to check the details and hope it will stop me wondering & at least have one installed when I need it!

Edit: just noticed I don't think it lets me re-size image which is important but love the add text/arrows.

 

Sure you can resize your images or scaling them.

 

Cool - thank you

 

You're welcome Robyn.
Have fun with SnagIt.

 

Anybody got a problem with version 7.2.5 ?

Maybe I did something something wrong....
But below is a screenie (LOL, made with SnagIt 6 ) showing an error (sorry, it's in Dutch).

Eric, any idea ?
I still have to look closer at what happened...

 

To be sure, I'll always like to start with: do I have the right file?
So here is the MD5 checksum:
8e3da7efce799bc4da1fc54fec17b87b

 

What I wanted to say: it is the MD5 of the install-file:

The file <D:\SnagIt\Version 7_2_5 upgrade\snagitup.exe> has the following Checksum(s)

MD5 - 8E3DA7EFCE799BC4DA1FC54FEC17B87B

 

Here is what NIS File Check told me after the upgrade:

So, what you see, is that for some reason the following file was removed:
c:\program files\techsmith\snagit 7\gdiplus.dll

At the moment I don't know why.
Maybe my fault, maybe something on my system, maybe cause I run W98SE

 

Well, nice to have NIS File Check

I had that removed file in my Nero folders.
Example:

So I copied it to the SnagIt 7 folder.
And now I was able to open SnagIt 7

As I said above: I don't know why that file gdiplus.dll was removed from my SnagIt 7 folder

May I ask others:
1.
Do you have gdiplus.dll in the SnagIt 7 folder ?
2.
What is the version ?
3.
What is the MD5 checksum of your file gdiplus.dll ?
Mine is:
The file <C:\Program Files\TechSmith\SnagIt 7\gdiplus.dll> has the following Checksum(s)
MD5 - 871C903A90C45CA08A9D42803916C3F7

Thanks !
Cheers, Jan.

 

Hi Jan,
Sorry to hear about your problem.

Couldn't find any gdiplus.dll in that folder, but maybe it's located elsewhere.
Running XP Pro here, so I'm not sure.

I do remember getting an error at my work, when installing my copy 7.2.3 on my Win98 SE computers.
I'm however not sure if it was the same error.
I also remember installing some files into my System32 folder and afterwards SnagIt worked again.
Hope you'll find the reason as to why that file was removed.

 

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your reply !

Maybe it has indeed something to do with running an older system; I'm not sure at the moment...

There is also a thread at DSLR/BBR-software ( ) :

Most warmest regards,
Groetjes, Jan.

 

Hey, I found it back.
I downloaded the file here and followed the instructions on this page.
Rebooted and SnagIt was back in business.

 

Oops! Seems we replied at the same time.

Thanks for the link Jan.

 

In which directory did you put it, Eric ?
In the SnagIt 7 or else ?
That might be important to know in case of a future upgrade for SnagIt ...

I have to admit that I myself am a little bit reluctant to download a file from a site; just only wanting to be a bit cautious, you know
Well, files can always be checked at online scanners as Jotti and Virus-Total.
And we all can compare MD5 checksums (those things are important; LOL, it's only me again )

 

C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me)

Didn't have any problem downloading that file, but I do understand your reluctance.

Yes, those files can always be checked, which I also did at my work, although not with the MD5 checksum.
Hope it will work out.

 

Hi Eric,

Sorry for asking again

Was it System32 or System ?


Thanks again !
Most warmest regards, Jan.

PS:
I'm thinking about making TechSmit aware of this

 

It was System on my Win98 SE.

They are known for providing excellent support.
Good luck Jan.
