One of the great features of Depiction is geo-aligning images (click here to see a tutorial video on the subject). But how does one get those images?

An easy way to get images is to capture them off the internet (being respectful of copyright laws, of course). The first way I learned to do this was with the Print Screen button, which puts the screen into the clipboard, then you paste it into MS Paint where you can save the image as a jpeg for Depiction. This doesn't give you much editing control, and all of those windows bits you may not want in your depiction are in the image. Then someone in our office found Snag-It, a great utility that gives one lots of capturing and editing power for a fairly small price tag. Today ZDNet.com featured Gadwin PrintScreen 4.4 in their Downloads email. I'll let you read more about it in their review (where you can also download it), and it looks to me like a great option for these tough economic times and Depiction users.

Happy Depicting!
