Using Draagonstorm's Color Picker with SnagIt

dracorn

I have SnagIt screen capture software, which comes up automatically when the screen print button is pressed.  Unfortunately, it also comes up when Color Picker enables the screen print function, so that Color Picker will not work properly. 

FIX:  Go into your Hidden Icon tray and exit SnagIt.  Then it won't interfere with color picker. 

Once you are finished with Color Picker, you must bring back the auto-capture feature in SnagIt or pressing Screen Print won't launch it.  Neither will the Capture menu be sitting on the top of your screen.  Since it is no longer running in the background, you must:

1) Open SnagIt manually.  Having an icon on your desktop or in your Start Menu (Windows 10) makes that handy.

2) However this still does not make SnagIt run in the background.  To do that, you must:

3) File, New Capture.  This adds Snagit to your tray, and puts the capture drop down menu back on the top of your screen. 

These instructions are for SnagIt version 12.4.1.
