Preparing to capture an image

To initiate the capture process, you must press a key or combination of keys called hot keys. Corel CAPTURE assigns a default hot key, but you can change it to define your own hot keys. You can set a delay period so you can set up elements such as menu lists or flyouts before completing the capture. You can also choose whether to capture details, such as the cursor or capture icon. For finer details, you can get a close up of the area you are capturing.

Helpful warning options can be set to notify you, for example, when the capture begins or ends or when you are about to overwrite an existing file.
