have you try to click studio button in snagit to do all you describer above and then re-snage the just edited pic
nkhoi, yeah, thanks. i was using an old version of snagit that i got years ago. it doesn't have all this extra stuff. i downloaded the new version.
try www.hardcopy.de Very nice and useful program for screen or individual window capturing. I use Paint in Windows to draw what I need to publish ,
For capture only irfan is about the best you can get for free. It is very fast. It also excels at batch converting images. It does not draw. So you need something like MS Paint to do that.
