![]() I am using a preview of the Windows Creator’s Edition and it seems Windows Snipping Tool got an upgrade along with other aspects of the OS. You can create screenshots, write on them, highlight areas and even erase portions of the screen grab. It also gets great reviews from CNET, PC Magazine, and MacWorld. The Windows Snipping Tool comes with Windows 10 and is a very good Skitch alternative. The ProfHacker blog has also praised the product several times, including an article on Skitch for Android. I was reminded of this little gem when Andy Rush gushed about Skitch on his blog earlier this month. Or you can make simple drawings, starting from a blank screen. On top of that, however, Skitch has a browser, plus camera and map connections for creating all kinds of annotated images. Then I downloaded the iPad app - very nice! (see the images above and below) Like many other apps, it lets you annotate an image already saved with the iPad’s built-in screen capture function. I tried the Mac version, and it is everything you would expect. You can add text, arrows, et cetera – and even edit them later on. If you have an Evernote account, you can save images online and share them in FaceBook, Twitter, or anywhere else you like. One of the best features, though, is annotation. The goal Skitch is to help you quickly edit and share your screenshots and images quickly. Skitch is a great screen capture application that is also available on Mac, iOS, and Android that integrates with Evernote. Skitch lets you save what you capture to your desktop, of course, but the program also connects with Evernote, WordPress, and Flickr. Skitch by Evernote aims to help you edit, annotate, and share your pictures easily. A version for Windows Metro was released in April and, while there is nothing yet for regular desktops, I expect a Windows 8 version this fall. Skitch is a neat little piece of free software provided by the folks at Evernote, and it’s available for three of the four systems mentioned above. This article is about an exception to that rule. Most software titles in this genre are only available for one platform or another. For that you need a separate application. It can get confusing when you work on multiple platforms, and the OS may not let you crop your “screen grab” or mark it up with arrows or text annotation. Save anything you found or created on-screenīoth Mac and Windows operating systems (OS) have ways to do this, as do iOS and Android for mobile devices. ![]() Catch a still image of something that’s moving.Create a visual for a class presentation.Illustrate an article about your research Skitch is a massively useful app for making quick edits on screenshots, playing with or pointing out details on photos - as well as pixelating sensitive areas in photos such as faces or license plates -, sharing information between creatives the list goes on and on.Document a course website strategy for your P&T dossier.Show students how to do something with a piece of software.There are lots of reasons why you might want to capture a still image of your computer screen:
