I would like to be able to change the canvas colour from black to white (or something lighter) in SnagIt for Mac. Ironically a lot of what I capture also has a black background which is making cropping a challenge. I've just moved from an old SnagIt for Windows to the new SnagIt and the white canvas is one thing I miss.

I have good news for you! The feature you requested was added to our new release, Snagit on Mac 2.0!
How do I use the new canvas color feature?

First, you need to upgrade to Snagit 2.0 and either purchase it or give it a go in trial mode. Once you're working with the latest version of Snagit, you can use the canvas color feature two different ways:
1. Change the canvas color of an existing image by selecting "Change canvas color" from the Edit menu within Snagit.
2. Set the canvas color of a new canvas right when you create it:

It's easy! If you already own a copy of Snagit on your computer, simply start it up and select "Check for updates" from the Snagit menu. Snagit will automatically find and install the latest version of Snagit for you after you click through the prompts.
You can also download the app directly from our website here: http://www.techsmith.com/download/sna...
Is this a free upgrade?

No. Each major release of Snagit may have free minor updates that offer bug fixes and other new features, but major releases of our software require a new license. Snagit on Mac 2.0 is a major release. However, if you purchased Snagit on Mac 1.0 or Snagit 10 for Windows, you're eligible to recieve a nice discount on the latest version.
