How to Compress an Image Using Snagit
TechSmith's Snagit is a commercial screen capture utility. After capturing and editing your images with Snagit, you'll need to save them in an image file format to make them viewable without loading Snagit. If you'll be working on a project that requires a large amount of screen captures, you can use several of Snagit's features to compress each image and minimize the file size of the project as whole.
