Capture Options

There are multiple options that you can use when capturing images:

  • Shortcut Keys Open the application that you want to include in the image and press the appropriate shortcut keys on your keyboard to initiate an image capture.
  • File and Edit Ribbons Click the red capture button to initiate an image capture region, or use the Capture drop-down to select a capture method first.
  • Flare Interface If you are working on a project in MadCap Flare and want to capture and insert an image, you can initiate some types of image captures (e.g., Application, Region, UI Element) from within Flare.

Note Normally, whenever you initiate the capture of an image, the capture always occurs immediately. However, you also have the option of delaying the capture for a certain number of seconds. See Enabling the Time Delay Feature.
