Fixed size window, in center of screen

morganmd2:
Hi - I need to end up with a fixed 1024 x 768 image with a specific part of the image in the exact dead center.
I can always put cross hairs on scotch tape on a specific spot on my screen (even the exact dead center).
I have set up a fixed 1024 x 768 window but how do I center it on the exact spot? It would be nice to have cross hairs on the fixed window, but...
I could capture the whole screen (2560 x 1600) but how would I edit it down to 1024 x 768 with the chosen spot dead center?
Do you have suggestions for the most efficient way to do this? I need to repeat on a thousand images.
Thanks,
Chris

This sounds like a job for MiniCap, the little brother of Screenshot Captor, which can be invoked via commandline and you can tell it EXACTLY the region on the screen to capture from by indicating the top,left,bottom,right coordinates.  After a little experimenting you'll have exactly the region you want and be able to trigger it via commandline.

You could also do this with Screenshot Captor by using RedBox capture mode and when you get the region exactly right, you would do REPEAT region captures after that.

But it still sounds to me like MiniCap might be the way to go for you.

Thank you Very Much.
I will see if I can learn how to use it.
Even simple things can be a challenge when new
but your recommendation gives me courage!

Most any batch resizer could do this for shots in a specific folder.
FastStone

or others.

There is this little program that monitors a folder of your choosing and auto resizes. Dropresize, a portable resizer.

If you make a new folder and point SC and Dropresize to the same folder, this should work. Or using any batch resizer should work.

I believe they wanted to crop to a particular part of the screen - *not* resize.

I'm not sure of the emphasis on the centre point - if it's always 1024x768 in the same location, any particular points - e.g. lop-left or bottom-right - are always going to stay in the same place.
