Here's a summary of CaptureWiz's input tools. These tools are available on the capture bar or taskbar corner icon.
|
|
Area capture Capture any area by draging the mouse. Or, capture any red outlined area by clicking the mouse. See tips below about canceling or adjusting the selected area. |
|
|
Full screen capture This tool captures the full screen. |
|
|
2-point capture Capture any area by clicking two corners, or by dragging the mouse. Great if you have an unsteady hand because you don't have to hold the mouse button down. |
|
|
Frame capture The frame tool is an open rectangular ruler that shows the dimensions of your selected area in pixels and inches. It opens fast, remembers its position, and lets you interactively prepare applications below it - even through the middle of the frame. Position the frame over the desired material and click OK. Move the frame by dragging its inside edge, resize the frame by dragging its outside edge. Or, use the keyboard arrow keys. |
|
|
Scroll capture Capture pages, pictures or lists that extend out of view. Capture as much or as little of the area as you want. Select the starting area, scroll, then click Done. More about scroll capture |

Video recording Select an area and record it. More about video recording |
|
|

|
|
Last program capture This tool captures the last active application (that’s usually the one you want). |
|
|
Window capture Capture window components with one click. |
|
|
Paste Paste images into CaptureWiz, then use CaptureWiz to resize, print or sticky note that image. Pasting is usually faster than capturing.
|
Canceling captures
To cancel a capture, right-click anywhere or press the ESC key.
Capturing an exact area
To set the corners precisely, press the keyboard arrow keys. Hold down SHIFT while pressing arrow keys to set the precise size of the selection area. Mix clicks, drags and ARROW keys in any order. Press ENTER to finalize your selection.
Or use the Frame tool, Window tool or Last program capture tools.
Touch input
To use your fingers on touch screens, click Menu (≡) / Settings / Options / Main / Input / Finger. The interface will be expanded for ease of tapping and swiping.
