Understand. However, for those who want to spend only 10 seconds,
when you save a capture in Snagit and open it in SnagIt Studio, it
saves it in SSD format, with every change independant from the image.
You can return to it as often as you want, make tweaks, and re-export
your image in gif or png (or whatever). Want to changed the text
insert or border? Open the SSD, make the adjustment, and re-export
the gif or png.
