--- All-in-One Capture helps you to decide what to capture by automatically selecting screen regions, windows, tool bars, suggesting strolling regions and more while also giving you the ability to select a custom regions if the automatic ones don't work out.
--- All-in-One locks on to important parts of your screen while fading out the rest. This helps you see what your capture might look like by clearly indicating whatareas you are about to capture.

--- Now you can annotate the entire area instead of having to piece together several captures to get the whole picture.
--- With All-in-One selected, you can also select a custom area if you need more than just the window or toolbar. For example, if you want a smaller window with some desk top capture as well to offer context. Click and drag your capture area. Note that the dimentions are clearly displayed as you move your mouse. Release the mouse button when you're ready to capture.
--- The SnagIt editor opens and displays your capture. Now you're ready to edit.
