Creating great-looking guides to explain various things can be a daunting experience, especially if your words aren’t backed up by any visuals. StepShot fills this gap by allowing you to capture an image at every click of your mouse and make annotations.

Today we’re giving away 50 licenses for the full version of the software, in exchange for some original comments posted at the bottom of this article.

Those already familiar with this system know only too well that the posts should be as creative as possible in order to increase your winning chances.

StepShot records your every step on the screen by grabbing a picture at each click of the mouse, and then allowing you to compile all the images into a beautiful looking tutorial or guide. It can export your project to various formats, from PDF, RTF, HTMl or MHT to XLS and JPG.

For each snap, there are editing possibilities, which include adding notes, drawing shapes, cropping regions or highlighting certain elements. The list of shapes makes available rectangles, and ellipses, which can be filled with color or shadowed.

Furthermore, StepShot can grab the entire screen, the active windows or a specific region. Any item in the project can be re-arranged or deleted very easily.

You can also import images from your computer. The result can be sent online through sharing options: Dropbox, FTP or email.

  Note: The winners will be picked from the comments section of this article, and will be contacted in 5 days after the giveaway expires. They will have to provide their full name in private (when required) in order to collect their prize. No other information except for your comment and the alias / nickname you provide will appear online.

We urge you not to double post and, most importantly, be original because pasting from different sources on the Internet will get you kicked from the giveaway campaign
