Nice use of SnagIt's Interactive Hotspots

Posted on Tuesday February 28, 2006 by Betsy Weber

PowerPoint MVP Troy Chollar, of TLC Creative Services, recently blogged about his office, and I was excited to see that he used SnagIt's new interactive screenshot option to take a picture of his office setup. Plus, he added hotspots to his screen capture to further explain the different stations.

Check out Troy's interactive screenshot of his office here: http://www.tlccreative.com/techtable.htm

I love this type of visual communication - if a picture is worth a thousand words, but what's a picture with hotspots worth? I'm guessing a lot more! If Troy had not added the hotspots, the picture would not have been as valuable to me. I understood better after he added the text. Besides, it saved him from me asking him a million questions because he illustrated it so nicely.

Is anyone else using this new feature? What do you like about it? What would you like changed?
