Another Qunnipiac University CPS semester has ended, and the majority of the courses required a PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint provides the designer with quite a few options. However, if you want more creative freedom, a neat tool to have in your tool box is SNAG IT.
This tool allows you to capture, edit, and share images. All of the images on this post were created using SNAG IT. And guess what? If you click here SNAG IT allows you a free 30-day trail offer period to experiment with the tool. On the web site a third of the way down hit the TRY button.
The tool will give you a choice on what key you would like to use to initiate the software to capture a "snagit" picture. The two key choices you have are either hitting the CTRL-Shift- "P" keys or just hitting the Print Screen key (usually located above the home key). I prefer the long way (CTRL-SHIFT-"P"key) just because that's how I learned it along time ago. And we all know it's hard to teach an old dog a new trick.
Once you capture the picture using your key preference you will then be brought into the SNAGIT software where you can edit you captured data. Then save to a file or clipboard (copy all icon) then hit DONE.
When you flip back to your PowerPoint, just hit the CTRL "V" key and your image will appear on your powerpoint presentation.
If you decide to buy the product on this particular site it runs under $40.00. Haven't had the time to see if someone else has a lower price. But even at $40.00 I'll bet you'll find it pretty nifty.
