The image you capture can be sent to the Clipboard, a file, or a printer. You can also capture an image to another application by using object linking and embedding. Once it has been captured, you can set a file path for the image.
You can capture specific parts of an image by defining your own capture area. For example, you may only want to capture the top half of a window to show all menu bars and toolbars. Or, if you want to identify a font, you can capture a sample of the font and send it to the WhatTheFont.com website.
You can also capture a series of images. Each image is assigned a value and placed in order, which you can open in a graphics or word processing application.
