Q: Is OmniDazzle like SnagIt for PC?

[Wessel]

Hi!

Just a n00b question, but is omniDazzle like SnagIt for the PC?
Because that is a very handy tool where lot of people asked for to port to Mac but there has been no action doing so yet.

The screen shots look like it buut I'm not sure if it is.

What I look for is a tool to take snapshots from screens and and add callouts to it and text and additional lines that are plotted with a nice shadow on the picture.

No, it isn't based on your description. OmniDazzle is a tool for real-time animation of your cursor movement (e.g. to make it visible on screen or to write and draw on the screen while it is still in use, i.e. it is not a screengrab). There are plenty of alternative tools you could use for this purpose. Screen shots are very easy to take on a Mac (search for keyboard shortcuts in the Mac help) and paste into any graphics app. E.g. OmniGraffle could be used for what you want as could e.g. Pixelmator. However, for ease of use and posting to server space, I would recommend ImageWell. It used to be freeware, but is now shareware. However, it does pretty much everything you ask for.
