I don't annotate very often, but sometimes I highlight or use arrows. I
will use a full application window shot when I first discuss the screen,
but
then I use cropped close-ups for specific elements.

What does everybody here think of that "ragged edge" feature used to
indicate that you're showing a portion of a larger screen? We've got one
person here who thinks it's great, but it somehow doesn't sit right with
me.
