Frames and Masks

Top  Previous  Next

 

Screenshot Captor supports some advanced frame images and "Masks".

A frame is just an image with a transparent center, which is scaled automatically to cover the entire image.

 

Double click on a frame to apply it (any existing frame will be replaces).

You can also CLEAR the frame at any time if you change your mind.

 

A mask is slightly more complicated - it defines a region of the image which is FORCED to be transparent.  It is simple black and white image, with black definining transparent region.

 

Frames and Masks are stored in the Frames subdirectory of Screenshot Captor folder, and again you can add your own custom ones.

An advanced use is to create a frame with an accompanying mask file.  You will see an example in the Frames\Frames subdirectory:

RaggedBR2.png

RaggedBR2.png.mask

 

Selecting this item will apply BOTH the frame and mask, and can be used for special ragged frame effects:

The default frames and masks that come with Screenshot Captor are lacking. We welcome new frames and masks submitted from users..
