Screen capture

[erik_j]

One of the things I previously used PSP a lot for is to make screen captures. I'm trying to do this with the current version too but nothing seems to happen. I'm running PSP X3 on Windows Vista Business Edition. I hope anyone can help me! I've downloaded the trial version and if this feature doesn't work I probably won't purchase after the trial is over.

I just use the Windows functions. Ctrl + Print Screen, then in PSP I just paste as a new image. This of course captures everything on your screen(s) and isn't too useful for doing it every 2 seconds or something like that but it works for me. I have a dual monitor setup and it captures both at the same time.

Hello Erik_j,

I'm Abiel from Corel Support. To use the Capture screen feature of PSP X3, please follow the steps below.

To specify a method for capturing screens

On Full Editor workspace
1. Choose File Import Screen Capture Setup.
2. In the Activate capture using area, choose one of the following options:

• Right mouse click — lets you capture screen contents by right-clicking
• Hot key — lets you use a keyboard shortcut to capture screen contents. Choose a key or key combination from the drop-list.
• Delay timer — lets you capture screen contents after a specified delay. Type a number in the seconds box.

To specify capture settings

On Full Editor workspace
1. Choose File Import Screen Capture Setup.
2. In the Capture area, choose one of the following options:

• Area — captures the area of the screen that you select
• Full screen — captures the entire screen
• Client area — captures the contents of the active program
• Window — captures the active window
• Object — captures an object within the program that you select, such as a menu bar, toolbar, icon, or document window

3. Click OK.

To capture an image or series of images

On Full Editor workspace
1. Choose File Import Screen Capture Setup.

If you want to capture multiple images, mark the Multiple Captures check box.

If you want to include the pointer in the capture, mark the Include Cursor check box in the Options group box.
2. Click Capture Now.
3. Set up the image you want to capture.

If you want to capture an area of the screen, marquee select that area. If you want to capture an object, click the object.
4. Press the hot key or right-click.

If you cannot complete the steps that I posted above, you can reset the workspace of your PSP X3. To do that, please close PSP X3 or restart the computer then while opening PSPX3, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and start PaintShop Photo Pro X3. When you receive the screen that looks like the one below, Click on Yes

That's pretty much what I do! LOL. Perhaps I sound naive or silly, but I wasn't even aware that PSP even HAD that type of feature. Then again, my use of Paint Shop Pro and Corel Draw is very, very, very basic. The way I tweak and fix photos is very minimal and not particularly invasive. However, if someone could introduce me to this feature, it would be greatly appreciated!
