Mark the screen before obtaining a screenshot
« on: October 29, 2022, 11:39 AM »
Sometimes I need a screenshot of my pc deleting some portion in this screenshot.
I would like to do this with Screen shot Captor without need to edit the screenshot to delete or cover the undesire content.

How can I do this.
Is like to write the screen before obtaining the screenshot.
:-* :P

Writing and drawing over content and saving as screenshots

As usual, your thinking is backward/reversed.

But if you really want to do it that way, then you can use SysInternals' ZoomIt to draw/write on your (still being updated) screen, and take a screenshot afterward. Don't forget to RTFM!

If I understand you this answer consist obtaining first the screenshot to be edited afterwards.
But What I get with pointofix is mark the screen and then obtain the screenshot.
Best Regards

No, Ath says his suggestion (ZoomIt) works the same as pointofix.

Interesting idea, even if it does seem a bit backwards to us :-)
