Region Capture

A region capture option is used to capture a region on the screen. A cross-hair appears on selecting 'Region Capture', drag it down and release the mouse to select the region. The pointer waits until user selects and drags on a region. Cursor point zooms-in the hovered region for a better view of capture coordinates. Click escape key or the mouse right button to cancel the capture operation. In addition, press 'r' key to re-select the region if the original selection is wrong. Users can customize in User preferences to show magnifier and capture mouse pointer.

Window

This feature allows the user to take a screenshot of a sub-window or inner windows of a page or even the entire page with a single click. Mouse hover shows the window panels with the dimensions to select and capture. With a click, the region will be captured. In the following, see an example for selecting a sub-window in Microsoft Word application.

Captures a web page in its entirety. Web Url is downloaded and processed. It is converted to produce a high-quality full-page image. Enter a web page URL in the field or select an existing URL saved to Capture. Complex web pages with more images take initial time to load properly. In such cases, the 'Delay' attribute can be adjusted appropriately to capture the fully loaded web page. Image RemovedThis option opens up a browser window and takes any url as input to render the page. Once the page is rendered, click on Capture to capture the full page.

A captured full-length image is opened in a tab. In addition, the web page can also be opened in a browser and can be captured. This is helpful when there are a a large number of dynamic elements in the page that needs scrolling to render properly before capturing. With this approach, the web page is captured to the best accuracy.

A new screen can be created from File→New Image or using  button in the top toolbar. If the command is executed from File→ New, the application opens a Window for setting width, height, background color of the screen image to be created.

Image RemovedImage Added

By default, width and height are derived from the display area of the current application main window to make sure that the created screen image fits in the display area. However, default values can be changed in the user preferences as shown 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. 

Image RemovedImage Added

When the new image is created directly from the top toolbar, the application does not show the dialog box for adjusting width and height. It will create the image right away without prompts. This helps with the quick creation of new screen images for drawing.
