which is discussed in the next topic.

Output



Use the Output menu to specify where you would like Easy ScreenShot to save your snapshot. The default option is File , meaning each capture is saved to an image file.

The second option, Printer , tells Easy ScreenShot to send the snapshot to the printer, directly. This means that each time you take a screenshot, it will be immediately printed.

The Clipboard option, when selected, places the image on the clipboard. The Catalog option saves the image automatically to the catalog folder you define in the Output Properties window .

The Preview Window option can be enabled or disabled, permitting the user to enable or disable the preview window before taking a snapshot. Disabling the preview window makes Easy ScreenShot immediately acquire the screenshot, without further user confirmation.

Use the Properties command to access the Output Properties window .

Options

This menu contains three options. The first opens the integrated slideshow builder . The second opens the Program Preferences dialog box , while the third saves all the settings as they are now (input and output options, as well as program preferences). These settings will be automatically loaded and applied the next time Easy ScreenShot starts.

Image



This menu allows a quick access to some of the program's advanced features, such as inserting text on an image or editing an image by hand .

You can also use this menu to undo the last operation performed or resize the screenshot. Choosing the Resize option will open the Resize dialog box, from where you can select how the image should be resized.

Effects



This menu provides access to the advanced features of Easy ScreenShot .

Using this menu, you will be able to quickly access a list of professional graphics filters that you can apply to your captured image. The are numerous effects available that will certainly improve your image retouching experience. Each effect is very easy to use: once you choose it, a window appears with the ability to customize that effect's options. In our example, it is the Add Color Noise effect. Notice the scrollbar is set to 75%, meaning this effect should be applied to 75% of the image's contents.



A quick preview is available in the small window. Once you are satisfied with the effect obtained, click the Apply button to apply the effect to the image. You may also click Cancel and this will not apply the effect.

Hint:
If you discover you have applied an effect the wrong way (or you applied the wrong effect), you may always undo the last operation performed using the Image -> Undo Last Operation command.
