PhotoPlus X2 User Guide - Serif

24 Getting Started
To initiate capture:
1. Click the Capture Now button from Screen Capture>Options... (on the File
menu).
OR
Screen Capture>Start on the File menu.
2. Press the Hot Key (normally F11 key but configurable in Screen
Capture>Options... to be any key from F1 to F11) to initiate capture. For
Selected Area Capture you have to position the cross-hair guides and drag to
define the selected area (use the supporting magnification tool's guides to finetune
your selected area).
Whatever you choose to capture, the resulting captured image will be displayed in
an untitled window. You can copy and paste as a new image/layer in an existing
project or save in a new project. Alternatively, you can export as an image directly
via the Export Optimizer.
To capture again, you must re-enter capture mode.
Using the image browser
Once you've opened
PhotoPlus, you can use the
built-in image browser to
preview thumbnails and
access file information for
images stored in folders. It
automatically generates the
thumbnails as you browse, a
folder at a time, and can
retain (cache) the thumbnail
gallery files for faster
previewing next time
around.
