So what is the best screen shot editor for a technical writer? According to my opinion thank heavens there was Snag It. Let me describe why photoshop, paint and others are not so cute and smart for me.
So once we install snag it. It makes itself available in the task bar, we forget everything. Let’s see I have a User manual to create, well lets say I need to describe a authentication form. So here I go:
I jot out the main navigation of the system
I get in for a hardcore UAT of the developed system / software
Throughout the UAT, I just keep pressing Print Screen and keep saving the shots serially for each module
Nifty huh ?
What do you use for screen shots?
I’m new to tech writing but Screen Hunter is free and yet allows for all the basic features. No need to spend money on a program (even if it has additional bells and whistles) when the free option gets the job done
For screen shots I use SnagIt. MadCap Flare comes with an onboard screen grab system, but I haven’t used it yet.
