Now just press the capture icon or the capture hotkey and you will be transported to the next active application (in this case, Internet Explorer) - click on the page area and your screenshot is captured as an image and inserted in a new slide in PowerPoint - all this happens in an instant!
There's More
Since this site is all about PowerPoint, I've been discussing the new PowerPoint friendly abilities of SnagIt. However, to not mention the program's other abilities would be unfair since there's so much more that SnagIt can do.
It can capture images, video and also text - for instance you can export a directory listing to an editable text file. SnagIt can also capture all images within a web page or site - and you can do that for pages linked to the originating page down to as many levels deep you require.

There's much more to SnagIt than what I can discuss here. I'll definitely want everyone to try out the product - you don't lose anything and you have 30 days to decide if you really need to buy the product.
And yes, all screenshots used in this article except the SnagIt installation screenshot (of course!) were captured using SnagIt - I know I'll never use any other screen capture tool.
Conclusion
When a product evolves, expectations do increase. Whether that's fair to the developer in the first place is something we won't debate here.
I think SnagIt is a fabulous product - and it does so much more than what one can even expect. It's priced right and TechSmith does have a nice upgrade policy.
I wish there was a way I can export an entire catalog of captured images to a PowerPoint presentation - maybe in some other version? But that's just a wish - my conclusion is that no other product comes even close to what SnagIt performs in concert with PowerPoint. And that's no ordinary accomplishment.
