PSP X5 - Cant include cursor in capture

Post by sjsmith001 »

I've tried all the capture options (full, window, client, etc) and cant seem to include the cursor. Im sure this worked in the past.

any ideas?

thanks

You can't include the cursor in Area mode as the cursor is already being used to select the area. All other modes - fullscreen, window, etc allow the cursor to be seen. Here is the setup I permanently use.

You get no real advantage in picture quality in choosing any of the others and using the full window you can crop what you want. In addition you can do extra steps and repeat the capture because of the multiple capture . Very useful for illustrating a tutorial with lots of steps.

But recently, it seems, i cant get the cursor in my caps.

Side question: how did you cap the settings screen you included--PrtScn or second instance of PSP?
Pre-WIn7, i used to launch a second PSP, now i cant seem to do that anymore as well.

thanks
