Capture Region

   There are 5 types of region to capture: rectangle, square, ellipse, circle and polygon. Click the menu item under Capture menu to capture the type of region you want. For example, click "Capture > Rectangle" menu item to capture a rectangle area from the screen. You can also set the Default / Last capture to Window, Button, Control under the Capture tab of Capture settings dialog, then press the hotkey or click "Capture > Default / Last capture" menu item to start capture.

   When capturing, Quick Screenshot Maker will hides itself. To view Quick Screenshot Maker after capture, check the "Show main window" option under the Edit tab of Capture settings dialog, if not, Quick Screenshot Maker will be minimized (visible only on the system tray area) and you'll have to click on it to open it up again.

   If you want to include cursor, check the Include cursor image option under the Capture tab of Capture settings dialog.

   When region capture is activated, the cursor changes to a large cross cursor. And a small reminder window appears on the screen. Hide / Show it by using "Space" key. The window will show the mouse pointer's coordinates, and the width and height of the smallest rectangle that contains the shape. Also it shows the enlarged bitmap around the cursor to help you capture exactly you want.

   Click using your left mouse button to indicate where you want to start the capture area, and then release it.
