#ADDING A CALL OUT IN SNAGIT 13 UPGRADE#

Other screencap/image apps offer a better experience, but Capture's integration with Flare is the key thing for me. It's no secret that Capture can drive you insane in the beginning, but it gets easier.

I also use the palette a lot, to store callouts that I have configured and want to use again. One feature I like is the Recapture function, I have used that a lot over the last week in my current project. I can see why more than one would be useful if you want to use the same image for different purposes, but personally, I don't think I'd want to manage that kind of complexity.

The effects that you can create (blurred, grayscale, etc) are good, but the callout gallery is in severe need of an upgrade - we need more choice and more flexibility, and a more modern design. However, Capture's annotation tools are a mix of good and bad. With Flare and Capture, I can cut that down to 25% of the effort and a fraction of the time. Whenever something changed, no matter how small, I had to back through the third-party open, edit, save, upload, insert palaver. I had to build any image with callouts in a separate app (I use Inkscape), then save, upload, and insert into the XML. I like it because I have spent the last six years using a very basic DITA XML system with no image management. I use it, and I am happy using it, but you are right that it is a 'mixture of awesome and.
