Thank you for your kind suggestions.

Ideally what I'm looking for is something I can use to draw a box round any part of the screen, capture than image in a window then use the windows borders in the usual way to make it larger or smaller, then save that for use in other documents.

Being able to annotate, label, caption etc would be a plus but really all I want to do is quickly make small stuff a readable size for myself and others.

Thanks for taking an interest mouser. Appreciated.

Actually I'm a bit embarassed. The first 30 minutes with any new software tends to be a bit confusing but that doesn't justify instant forum panic.....

I did try what you suggested but no luck. Every time the magnifier opens it resorts all mu shortcut icons no matter where it was when it closed the previous time. Getting fed up rearranging my icons maually every trial so the best solution appears to be - don't use magnifier.

I have now found the resize image option in the edit menu which does something similar to what I'm looking for but I think I need something like a simple cropping and zooming tool. I'll keep looking and maybe come back if I cannot find anything better suited to my requirements.

Thanks again for your kindness.

Screenshot Captor / Using Screenshot Captor moves the shortcuts on my desktop

Hi, New user obviously.

Been looking for a screen capture utility which allows me to easily expand captured sections of the screen. (poor eyesight).

Unfortunately although Screenshotter looks to be an excellent product otherwise whenever I try to select a section of the captured image and then expand (enlarge) for reasons I cannot understand, the program moves all my on screen shortcuts around.

Done it three times now. This is no good.

If I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong or that it's a feature I'll have to keep looking...

Any tips please?

p.s. it happens everytime I try and use the magnifier option in Tools.
