Re:Comic Life needs SNAG_IT features - 2006/11/02 13:19
I use Snag_It's screen capture to grab parts of web pages, PDFs, images, or toolbars for use in mockups, documentation, and in "freehand" drawings.
One of the best features is the ability to grab a part of a screen or web page, edit it, and save it as an editable document (.snag) or as an image type (.JPG, GIF, or Flash movie.)
Say there's a website typo. Snag the page, use the highlighter tool to annotate the page, and instantly email it to the web team.
The predefined annotation symbols make it fast easy to build "how tos" and other documents.
Also, the freeform editor allows one to create graphics from scratch. I've used it as a poor man's Visio or Illustrator to cook up line drawings, etc.
Finally, the ability to create Flash movies with hyperlinks or pop-up text (to explain a part of an image or drawing) is great.
Comic Life has 1/2 of the functions of Snag-it already. To do Snag-It functions, one has to use Grab, Comic Life, and other tools together.
Try Snag-it and you'll see what I mean. CL could easily outdo it and capture E-learning and documentation marketshare, in addition to family photo annotations.
