 Hi, this is Russell Stanard from teachertrainingvideos.com. I'm going to review Snagit 2019. We're going to look at the image capture features that are available in Snagit and there are some superb features. The ones that I'm going to cover are the following. We're going to look at how you can add assets to an image that you've already image captured and you can bring extra things in. There's lots of stamps and arrows and callouts. You can enhance any image. I'm going to particularly focus on the numbering enhancements that you can do. You can have an image and number different parts of it and that can be so useful in language teaching. I'm going to look at how you can take an image and take it straight into Word or straight into PowerPoint with just one click. I'm going to look at making images disappear. If you've image captured something but you want something in that image to disappear, how can you do that? I'm going to look at the fantastic Simplify tool and how we can use that. Five of the best image capture features in Snagit. Let's get started. What I'm going to do first of all is just show you how you can enhance an image. I've got here my website and I'm just going to imagine for example that I need to screen capture a part of it. Perhaps I need to tell the designer some changes I want to make. I'm going to open that up here. It comes into the image capture. I immediately can begin to add all sorts of things onto the screen. If I want to, for example, point at something and then maybe add some text for that image and just say change this. I can of course change the color of the text as well as no problem there. Just mark that and choose another color. I'm just going to make it black. If I wanted to make that into a different font as well, I can do that very easily. I have a whole range of things here. I can add a call out onto the screen if I want to focus on something here. This should only say. I can add all these simple changes to the screen and enhance it. I've got a whole range of different tools here. Text, arrows. If I come down here and click on more, you'll see there's even more things I can do. If I want to add a line, I've got a highlight tool. All of this, of course, is adding to the actual, let's say, for example, I wanted to highlight something on the screen. I can do that if I wanted to highlight particular things. Again, of course, I can choose any color I want to. I've chosen those three there, but then I want to make that yellow. I can do that. You can see that you can enhance your image. Once you've done that, you can simply copy it. That's one of the most useful things about how you can take an image and quickly enhance it. You can image capture anything using Snagit and then enhance and add elements onto the screen. If you're a teacher like myself, I think you're going to find this next tool really useful. In fact, I'm going to show you two and three together. I'm going to take an image from Google. I've grabbed this image here. This is actually an image that I am allowed to copy. I'm going to click now on the image capture tool, Snagit, and I'm going to image capture that. As soon as you image capture an image, it will come into the editing suite into here. What I'm going to do with this is I'm going to click here on more and I'm going to choose steps. I'm going to choose a different color, so we'll do numbers. Now I'm going to just say, right, that's going to be the screen. That's going to be number one. That's going to be computer. That's number two. That's mouse. That's number three. That's mat. That's number four. That's keyboard. That's number five. That's stand. That's number six. That's cable. That's number seven. I can very quickly produce a kind of worksheet with the numbers mark. Now, the great thing here is I'm going to click on copy all, so just one click here. If I open up Word, so we've got Word on the screen here. I'm just going to simply paste in that image. Notice that I just clicked on the copy button and immediately that image comes into Word. Now what I'm going to do down here is just click here and right on the line below, complete the words. Now we're going to have number one, number two, number three, number four, number five, number six, number seven. We can really quickly produce a worksheet and then bring that worksheet into, or bring an image into Word and turn it into an actual worksheet. One of my favorite features in Snagit and one that I make the use of really a lot. Another feature I find really useful in image capture, and I'm just going to grab my menu here at the top of my website as an example, bring that into Snagit. And what I'm going to do is I'm simply going to click on the select tool and I'm going to select, for example, these images here. Now I'm going to delete them. If you notice over here, I've got it set to auto fill. And what that means is I'm going to delete those, but what's going to happen is it's going to grab the color around it and paint it in here. So it will basically look as if there's nothing there at all. So right click, click on delete. It deletes the objects and as you can see it fills it with color. So it doesn't cut it out, it actually auto fills the area. So this is a great way of making objects disappear on your screen. If we just take another example, if we come back again to my website here, just quickly open up the website and do another image capture. And we'll just sort of take that onto a wider scale, you know, particularly if, for example, you wanted to get rid of a particular logo on the screen and we'll do that as an example here. So imagine I wanted to get rid of this logo. I could simply come to the selection. I'm going to mark the area around there. And I'm not going to cut it out. I'm going to make sure I've got auto fills selected. Right click, click on delete because we want to delete that object and it's just going to make it disappear off the screen. Amazing how often I've ended up using that when grabbing an image, bringing it into Snagit and then finding that there are parts of it that I actually don't want to include. Particularly sometimes if I want to make space to add in some arrows and some writing, then that can be really useful. Now this final feature only comes with Snagit 2019. There aren't that many differences between Snagit 2019 and Snagit 2018. This is one of the features that Snagit 2019 has introduced. I'm going to image capture this quite complicated image. And I might want to do this because I don't want to reveal what language it's in because I only want to focus on certain parts. So, for example, if you're producing a guide that you're going to share in different languages, then obviously you don't want to show the language of the image that you've captured. One thing that you can do is click on the Simplify button here. I'm going to click on Autosimplify and you'll see that it's going to simplify the whole thing. So now it doesn't actually show the language. It simply kind of gives an outline of things. Now there might be certain things that I don't want to simplify. Let's imagine, for example, this part of the top here. So I'm going to click on the Move feature and I'm just going to mark this area around here, around the Move feature. In fact, let's do the whole of that area. And I'm simply going to click, right click here and click on Delete and that will delete the Simplify tool there from the top. So I can actually make certain parts of it stick out and then the rest of it I can simplify. And I think it's a lovely feature, particularly if you're producing something, as I said, you don't want it to be in a certain language or where you want the user to focus on a particular element within the image.
