Objects Menu

Top  Previous  Next

The Objects menu let's you perform operations on movable/resizable/transparency-adjustable objects:

 

menu_objects

 

Add Caption to Image.. - Brings up the Caption Dialog to add a caption Object to the bottom or top of your image.

 

Send Object Backward - Sends an object behind others in stacking order.
Send Object Forward - Sends an object in front of others in stacking order.

 

Edit/Insert Unicode Text Object - Launches Unicode Image Maker (if installed) to let you put an advanced text box (possibly with unicode text) as an object in your image.

 

Delete Object - Delete the currently selected object.

 

Expand Canvas to Fit Objects - Sometimes you create objects that extend past the border of the current image; this expands the canvas of the image to encompass all objects.
Make Regions Around Objects - Creates a selected region around all object; useful for subsequently applying special effects like blurring.

 

Merge Background Transparency - Screenshot Captor can store transparency information inside png files.  Transparency effects are uses in shadows for example.  Sometimes you do not want this (for example Internet Explorer 6 and lower doesn't support transparency).  This operation will merge any transparency with the current background color of the canvas.

Flatten All Objects to Background - Normally Screenshot Captor keeps track of all objects so that they can be moved and resized.  But this can slow down manipulation and saving/loading of the image, and prevent operations like blurring from acting on object.  This operation will permanently merge the objects into the image.  After that they cannot be further manipulated.
