Creating Custom Icons for your own "Custom Stamp" in SnagIt
Easy to Do and So many Choices!
If you frequently use SnagIt to create charts and visual content, you've probably noticed how helpful the "Custom Stamp" feature can be. Did you know you can create your own custom icons to enhance your images further? Here's a step-by-step guide to crafting your unique stamps and streamlining your visual workflows.
Step 1: Create a New Image
Begin by creating a new blank canvas in SnagIt. Set the dimensions to 256 by 256 pixels to ensure your custom stamp will maintain optimal resolution and proportions.
Step 2: Utilize Existing Stamps
Browse SnagIt's extensive stamp collection for inspiration. Find an icon or graphic that fits your needs, then simply drag and drop it onto your blank canvas. This will act as the base for your custom stamp.
Step 3: Customize Your Stamp
Add your creative flair to the stamp. You can overlay: - Text: Add labels, annotations, or even branding. - Graphics: Incorporate shapes, arrows, or other design elements. - Colors: Change the icon's color scheme to match your project's theme.
SnagIt's editing tools make it easy to fine-tune your design until it's perfect.
Step 4: Save Your Custom Stamp
Once you're happy with your design, it's time to save it as a reusable stamp: 1. Click File > Save As Stamp (or press Control + Option + Command + S). 2. Give your new stamp a descriptive name to locate it easily later.
SnagIt will automatically flatten your image into a single layer, preserving the design exactly as you see it.
Step 5: Use Your Custom Stamp
Your new stamp is now part of your SnagIt stamp collection! Access it anytime to add a personal touch to charts, diagrams, or other visual projects.
