Pointer waits until user selects and drags on a region. Cursor point zooms-in the hovered region for a better view of capture co-ordinates.

Once the region is selected, screenshot in that region is captured and created as a new tab. Application tries to obtain the window tittle, and website url, etc. as applicable.
Region to Clipboard
This operates the same as Region capture and the only difference is that captured image is copied to Clipboard. GetPixit does not store the captured screenshot. This is helpful for transient captures which are not required to be managed and can be discarded after single use.
Last Region
Recently captured region will be remembered and it can be used to recapture as a New image with this option.
Region Text
GetPixit has integrated OCR technology that helps to extract text from images, video, documents, etc. Extracted text can be copied to clipboard using Copy Text. If the text in the screenshot is small, try to zoom-in for better text extraction.

Create Screens
In addition to capturing screenshots from the displays, application enables creating new screens and adding content to the screen. This is often helpful to create presentation slides, composing multiple image segments into one image using external Clipart and Images, and also to create quick wire frames for concept illustrations and user interface designs. These created screens can be projected as slideshow similar to powerpoint presentation slideshow. This significantly reduces overhead of copying screenshots into powerpoint slides for presentations while managing all screenshots in one place. Updates to annotations can be done right away without switching tools.
A new screen can be created from File→New Image or using 
button in the top toolbar. If command is executed from File→ New, application opens a Window for setting width, height, background color of the screen image to be created.
By default, width and height are derived from the current application main window display area to make sure created screen image fits in the display area to start working. However, default values can be changed in the user preferences, see below. If the background color is set to transparent, it still shows up as white in the image for enabling better annotations and drawings. When it is exported into PNG, it retains background transparency.
When the new image is created directly from the top toolbar, application does not show the dialog box for adjusting width and height. It will create the image right away without prompts. This helps with quick creation of new screen images for drawing.
