TechSmith Introduces SnagIt 7.2 in French and German and a New Firefox Extension

Newest Version of SnagIt also Enables Users to Capture Audio, Video and Microsoft Office Documents from the Web

Okemos, Michigan - March 23, 2005 - TechSmith Corp., the world's leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions, today announced the availability of SnagIt 7.2 German and French versions and an extension for Mozilla's Firefox. The new extension allows Mozilla's large and loyal European user community to enjoy all the illustrative benefits SnagIt screen capture offers right from the Firefox browser.

SnagIt's extension for the Firefox browser enables users to take screen captures of an entire scrolling window, Web page, region, or even text that can be edited. The screen captures can be sent to files, clipboards, printers, or e-mail.

"Many of our most loyal customers are accustomed to having SnagIt on their desktops so that it's available whenever they need it, and increasingly they've been asking us to bring that convenience and functionality to Firefox," said Tony Dunckel, SnagIt Product Manager at TechSmith. "Our support for Firefox, as well as the other enhancements we've added are designed to provide all computer users with the tools they need to work faster, work smarter, and get more done."

Other new features in SnagIt 7.2 include:

• Enhanced desktop integration - users can now right click on any image and edit the image in the SnagIt Editor or instantly batch convert the image from one format to another. Additionally, users now have the option to set the SnagIt Editor as the default for any of the 23 file formats supported by SnagIt.
• Enhanced desktop integration - users can now right-click on any of the 23 supported image file formats to convert to a different format or batch convert multiple files with SnagIt's image editor. Users can also make SnagIt their default image editor.
• Expanded Web capture -- users can capture any graphic, audio or video file from the Internet, and use SnagIt's new Web filter to block captures from banner ads and specific domains
• Improved edge effects and rich text editing - users can incorporate multiple colors, fonts, styles, alignments and other features into a single text box
• Precision capture-to-print functionality -- users have one-touch options for repositioning a capture within the print layout for proper printing, and several scaling options that don't distort the aspect ratio

SnagIt supports Microsoft Windows 98/200/NT/ME/XP. Users must have SnagIt 7.2 or later to use the Firefox extension, which can be downloaded at www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/firefox.asp.
