Desktop Picture Capturing Software for Mechanical Geeks & Teachers

[Wayfinder]

There are a good number of folks on these forums who love to share what they know, have discovered, and how they modified or fixed their rigs.  This is awesome for new Oliver owners.  They get to read the words and see detailed annotated pictures from the authors, dear I call them "Content Creators". 

As I approach retirement in December, there is at least one peace of software I now own personally that I have discovered from the work-place. I have created and edited hundreds of desktop video recordings for software demos and instructional videos in recent years.  I use Camtasia from TechSmith for easy video editing, but another small piece of software they make, and is very inexpensive, is their SnagIt software.  I will capture and edit pictures (and videos) from my desktop, browsers, or personal photos.  This is what I use to very quickly annotate most of my uploaded pictures here in the forums. 

I'm hoping never touch MS Windows as long as I live, but SnagIt does work on both Windows and MacOS.  I now mostly use MacOS as a "daily driver" OS, even though I'm a Linux lover at heart.

Here's a screenshot of what SnagIt looks like.  You can tell I've been doing all sorts of captures today, from my own future logo, to Olivers, and portfolio stuff.  

I thought this might be helpful to those who love to share their Oliver project pictures on their rigs.

I won't link it here, just Google "SnagIt" - it's from TechSmith.

I hope this helps others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Cheers,
