Snagit is a Screen Capture application that does exactly what its name implies. Snagit Editor opens the captured image and allows it to be edited using an array of useful tools, to make the image speak clearly to the intended user, for example by adding numbered steps to indicate a sequence of procedures.

### Comment 3

Snagit is the overall product name. On your desktop you have two apps; Snagit goes in your system tray and allows access to image capture settings and profiles, also to a button that explicitly requests a screen capture. Snagit Editor is a tool that comes with Snagit which allows you to edit, file, share images (and a lot more) . Typically a screen is captured with the Capture button or with a keypress (like Print Screen) and the editor immediately opens up for you to work with the new image. That's only the start of what you can do. Snagit Editor allows all sorts of options.
