Palettes

When you capture an image, you can add various types of objects to it (such as shapes, lines, and cursors). A palette is an element that lets you store objects for later use.

Other Information

Example  

You create a bubble shape and modify it (adding text, color, shadow) in order to use it as a callout for images. It would be time-consuming to redesign that object each time you want to use it in an image. So instead, you can save the object to a palette. And the next time you want to add the object to an image, just double-click it in the palette or drag it from the palette to the image.

Note Palettes are especially convenient because they are stored in your "Documents\My Palettes" subfolder, or they can be placed on a network directory and linked to Capture. This means that, once created, the palette and its objects become available to all of your Capture images.
