I’ve heard about this software occasionally for several years but I never bothered to look into it until recently. Snag It is a screen capture software for Windows and while it may seem like there is not much to that since you can ALT+PRINTSCREEN to capture a bitmap image of the current window without any software, Snag It really takes this so much farther.
As a software developer, I’m constantly building UI’s or sending screen shots to others for various reasons. It’s a real pain to do it the old fashioned way. ALT+PRINTSCREEN, then open a paint program, paste the image, crop it, save it as an optimized format, go back to your IM window, send file, browse for the image, send it.
With Snag It, I just click capture, choose an IM recipient and its gone. But SnagIt can do so much more such as animated screen captures. (This is SUCH an awesome feature by the way.). There’s too many features to mention but if you take screen shots regularly, then you need this software.

Here is a screen shot of some of the profiles I use most frequently.
