In addition, in between each consecutive capture, you can relocate and resize the region as well as manipulate the onscreen content you want to capture.See Capturing Regions Consecutively.
• Restore Last Capture Region Opens the selection rectangle for the most recent region that you captured. You can then capture another image using the same dimensions or resize the selection area as needed. See Restoring the Last Capture Region.
• Capture Last Capture Recaptures the last image that you captured, displaying the bitmap in a new instance of the Capture Editor. If you do not want to create a new image, but simply want to replace a particular image with another one, use the recapture option instead.See Recapturing the Last Capture.
• Capture Window Captures an open application, UI element or window, depending on the one you select from a list.See Capturing an Application.
• Capture Window with Auto-scroll Captures an open window that is too long to be displayed in its entirety on the screen.
