Capturing a Window With Auto-Scroll

Use this method to capture an open window that is too long to be displayed in its entirety on the screen. This method grabs an image of the window, automatically scrolling to the bottom of the window for you. The image starts from the top edge of the window that can be seen on the screen and scrolls to the bottom to capture the image.

How to Capture a Window With Auto-Scroll

1. Open the window that you want to capture. When you initiate this method of capture, the Capture window will be minimized, allowing you to "grab" an image of whatever is directly behind it.
2. (Optional) From the Edit ribbon, click the Select profile drop-down and choose a profile.

   Note Whenever you capture an image, you do so using a profile (which is a collection of settings that are applied to the image in advance). You can use the default profile ("MyProfile") provided for you in Capture (which uses basic settings that you may not even notice), or you can create and use your own profiles. This is a good way to save time and keep your captured images consistent.

3. Select File > Capture > Capture Window with Auto-scroll or Edit > Capture > Capture Window with Auto-scroll.

   Capture minimizes and a red border surrounds each window as you move the cursor over it.

   Note If Capture does not minimize, you probably do not have the "Hide on Capture" feature selected in the Options dialog. See Hiding Capture When Recording an Image.

4. Click the window that you want to capture. The image is captured and opens in the Capture Editor.

What’s Next?

After you capture or open an image, it displays in the Capture Editor. You can then do the following:

• Edit If you want to enhance the image before saving it, you can perform tasks such as drawing shapes, creating effects, adding callouts, cropping, etc. See Editing Images.
• Save If you do not want to make any enhancements to the captured image, you can simply save it. See Saving an Image.
