SnipIT function in Windows Vista

["Van Boening, Tammy" <Tammy -dot- VanBoening -at- chartercom -dot- com>]

Using Windows Vista and Office 2007. On this system, I currently do not
have SnagIT (but it is coming soon!). In Windows Vista, there is a new
function called SnipIT which I must use instead, which is a very poor
relative to some of SnagIT's most basic functions. I do have the option
of determining the format of the capture. I am using PNGs. Right now, if
I have to make any modifications to the capture,  I must send this
capture to my other system (Windows 2003, XP3), that has good
old-fashioned PAINT on it - Paint actually gives more editing options
than this supposedly new and improved function of SnipIT. Here's the rub
- if I use the Send function that is available within SnipIT, (and
hence, Outlook is automatically used as the mail client) the capture,
EVEN THOUGH it's a PNG, gets attached as a JPEG. If I use my web
interface for my email on my Windows Vista system, and physically go out
and select the file to attach, then it gets attached as the .PNG that I
want.  Doesn't seem like such a big deal, but I have LOTS and LOTS of
screen captures that I must do this for and this this flippin' web
client, times out after 5 minutes (I can't change this setting ) and I
am constantly having to reboot and log in again before I can attach and
send and this is causing me to waste lots of time and sanity.

 

I have tried 'til I am blue in the face to figure out why SnipIT insists
on changing the format of the capture when using its send function and
if there's anywhere that I can change this value, but for the life of
me, I can't find a setting for this.

 

Is anyone else using SnipIT and run into this obscure/bizarre issue and
can provide some insight?

 

Thanks,
