Techsmith have posted a useful guide on using Snagit 11 with Windows 8. Although it is a desktop app (no RT version yet) you can capture the Start Screen and Modern UI applications with the use of hotkeys. There’s also a guide to adding Snagit to the Start Screen

I can’t imagine working without Snagit but faced that horror last night. How I broke it I had CAD application publishing (digital print to DWF file) and was editing some captures while it was working. The computer was occasionally a bit slow as the publishing consumed chunks of processor
Snagit accessories are a great productivity booster.

Snagit 10 was released this week with a bunch of new functionality that I’ll look at over a series of posts. The first alone justifies upgrading and you’ll use it for every snag. A new “All-in-One” capture profile merges screen, window, object, scroll and marquee select captures in
I was doing some screen captures today on a test machine without Snagit. It’s a miserable experience when something that’s usually so seamless and easy, with Snagit installed, becomes hard. A Snip + Paint does not match a Snag!
