What it is:
CaptureWizPro is a professional tool for capturing anything on your screen, even tricky items like the entire contents of scrolling areas, drop-down lists, tool tips, mouse pointers and screen savers. There’s also a high-performance recorder for capturing streaming video or creating demos.
How we use it:
This software is one of the most important tools I use throughout the day. Years ago when I discovered how to perform a “screen capture” on the computer by hitting the ‘print screen’ key on my keyboard it felt like an epiphany.CaptureWizPro uses that basic concept and launches it into outerspace! The “area” capture tool allows the user to select a small or large portion of a computer screen. The edges of the screen capture can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the edges of the capture area before it is copied or keyboard shortcuts can fine tune the adjustments one pixel at a time.
CaptureWizPro, from PixelMetrics, lacks some ancillary features that some of its competition offers, but its ability to capture images makes it a fully world-class screen-capture utility. By default, the capture bar, which is a small window with a menu bar and toolbar, offers seven toolbar buttons. CaptureWizPro’s main interface, which can be called up from the floating toolbar, gives you access to more program features. Key Factors When Selecting and Setting Up an E-Commerce Platform.
Another highly useful feature is the ability of the tool to capture drop down menus on a website or other moving images that you would never be able to capture with the ‘print screen’ key. After installing the program, pressing F10 freezes everything on the browser window, and on your computer, so that you can position the ‘area’ tool to select exactly what you need to capture.
After capturing the area of the screen or website a menu of options on how to handle the captured image appears. Clicking the ‘email’ option automatically opens your email client with the image already attached. Or, you can use the ‘save as…’ button to save it to your computer.
The sticky note function is one of my favorite options. When clicking the sticky note after a capture, the image gets pasted in a small window that stay in front of any browser or other window you may have open. This can be used to compare something you captured on a web page that you want to see while writing a blog so that you don’t need to keep going back and forth between windows, as I am doing right now!
