Seems like snagit is more powerful than I once thought; i might have to give it a revisit. The stick figures seem to have developed a bit of credibility throughout the image set and this is perfect for an upcoming project I mhave planned. Thanks for the heads up. I love the images.

It is much more appealing to an audience to have one set of figures, colors schemes, labels, etc. and stick to them throughout the slides rather than stick random clip arts...just because they are available. You underestimate your drawing abilities. I like the consistency you drawings present.

Sometimes getting the text to look exactly as it does in the screenshot requires a more powerful tool.

I didn’t think stick figures could have personality, but I think these guys do. Now I’ll have to go play with the tools in Snagit!

I took some backgrounds from Visio and added them in. They looked bare to me without them. Maybe I'll reupload them now. Sure, in fact I already modified the images somewhat.

I use Snagit for my screen captures too. At least most of them. When I need to heavily modify the text on the screen, then I may turn to a different tool. But Snagit is a must in my graphics toolbelt. I completely agree with you, Craig. I use Snagit for my screen captures too. At least most of them.

A poor picture is often better than no picture.
