Snagit is a screen-, window-, or display capture application with built-in editing tools for Mac OS X. This program is a great alternative to Grab that allows you to add effects and ability to save images in multiple formats or upload them somewhere on the Net.
The 50 dollars price tag is certainly somewhat scary at first, given there is a decent screen capture tool available for free on Mac OS, called Grab, but I was quite surprised to see why there is such a hefty price tag for this software. Besides making screenshots, like Grab tool does, the program includes a somewhat powerful editing tool with ability to blur, stamp, erase, and add objects, such as lines, boxes, and to write something with a pen, marker or to use a highlighter. The result can be saved in most popular formats or exported to a PDF file. Right from the program you can upload the picture to a particular website (screencast.com) or to your own FTP server.
An afterthought: the program is great, but I have to take off a point because there is a free alternative - Grab - that does half of what this program does for free. Otherwise, Snagit's editing tool is just super great.
