FastStone Screen Capture Button

by Joe Holler

Click the "Screen Capture" button to get the drop down menu.

There are three ways to decide what to do with the image once it has been captured.

1. When you check , the image will open into the preview window of the browser view of FastStone as soon as the capture is made.
2. When you check , the image will be saved on the clipboard to be pasted somewhere else.
3. When you check , a "Save As" window will open, allowing you to choose the destination, file name and type.

   

There are five ways to capture all or part of the screen to be captured as an image. For the following examples, I have Imaging Tips loaded into a Firfox window, behind FastStone.

1. When you click , the window captured will be the last window opened before FastStone was open.

   

2. When you click , FastStone will disappear revealing the underlying window. There will be a red border around a window object. Move the cursor around until you have the desired window object selected and click.

   

3. When you click , FastStone will disappear revealing the underlying window. Click and greag diagonally to select a rectangular region. The region will be captured when you release the left mouse button.

   

4. When you click , FastStone will diappear revealing the underlying window. Surround the desired region. The region will be completed and captured when you release the left mouse button.

   

5. When you click , the full scree underlying FastStone will be captured immediately.
