TechSmith Delivers SnagIt 7 With Major Usability, Workflow, and Personalization Benefits

World's Most Popular Screen Capture Utility Undergoes Makeover with Completely Redesigned Interface for Increased User Productivity, Support for Microsoft Office 2003

Okemos, Michigan - November 3, 2003 - TechSmith Corp., the world's leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions for consumers and business professionals, today announced the availability of SnagIt 7 with enhancements that simplify the workflow of capturing, editing, and sharing electronic images, and enable users to personalize SnagIt for greater convenience and productivity.

SnagIt has become a mainstream software utility whose worldwide adoption has been fueled by its ease of use and illustrative benefits. SnagIt empowers users to take screenshots of exactly what they see on their screens to communicate ideas faster, clearly explain concepts, and archive important electronic information with point-and-click convenience. SnagIt 7 supports Microsoft Office 2003 and includes complete text, video, printer, and web capture functionality.

"We have merged usability, functionality and simplicity, enabling any computer user to leverage SnagIt's screen capture technology for everyday tasks, such as documentation, training, archival and research," said Tony Dunckel, SnagIt Product Marketing Manager at TechSmith. "For millions of existing users and thousands of new users who download SnagIt everyday, SnagIt 7's redesigned interface and streamlined workflow will make it easy and fast to incorporate the added value of screen capturing into countless desktop activities."

Significant new features in SnagIt 7 include:

• Profile Management for creating and managing personalized configuration profiles so users have quick access to their most commonly used features. Users can easily change profile settings, arrange profiles within groups, and create group profiles to meet individual, department or company-wide requirements.
• Paint Tools embedded in the capture-preview window and SnagIt Editor that allow users to instantly add lines, shapes, annotations, and other elements to screenshots.
• Image Editing Effects that enable users to add creative and artistic enhancements, such as perspective, shear, spotlight, and magnification to screenshots. Previously, this capability was available only in high-end image-editing products.
• SnagIt OneClick to access capture profiles directly from the desktop for greater convenience and speed.
• Support for the Microsoft Office suite, including Office 2003, with toolbar add-ins for Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word.

"I'm still blown away that TechSmith created software I never imagined I needed and now can't live without," said Jay Bailey, Gurunet.com, Atomica. "Ninety percent of the features I usually need for screenshot enhancements are now included in SnagIt 7. It will be nice not having to jump between image editing apps anymore. I simply can't believe how easy SnagIt is to use. It has made my job so much easier."

SnagIt is the most popular screen capture utility in the world with more than seven million users. Among the most common professional uses for SnagIt are documentation, employee and customer training, technical support, classroom teaching and distance learning, Web development, research and investigation, publishing, software design, and the creation of sales and marketing materials.
