When opened the program  looks like a transparent window opening to whatever is behind it, be it  the desktop wallpaper or other open window. Capture View has several  capture settings or methods and one of those is what is seen through the  aforementioned interface. By moving or stretching Capture View&#8217;s own  window the screenshot area can be adjusted.<\/p>\n<p>To take other kinds of  screenshots like the usual whole screen, individual window or others  Capture View&#8217;s Type menu must be used. The same menu includes settings  for automatically adding transparency, backgrounds, color invert and  other effects to the captured screenshot. Delayed captures are also  configurable here. The Alt+Q keys or the Capture button are two methods  to take the screenshot itself.<\/p>\n<p>Any thing captured, even if not yet  saved, can be viewed using the Thumb Strip (accessed via the icon to the  right of the small red square). Screenshots must be saved before the  program is closed because captures are initially stored in a temp folder  and are not automatically saved. The default image format can be  changed from *.png to *.jpg, *.tiff or others. After a screenshot is  captured one can resize it to preset sizes like wallpaper or any other  arbitrary size &#8211; using the what the program calls a box to hover over  the capture and keep only what the box sees &#8211; by right clicking on it  inside the Capture View window or using the Crop menu.<\/p>\n<p>Capture  View does not have the most intuitive of work flows but does the job and  with a few extras. The Description page on the program author&#8217;s site  has a lengthy explanation of the more unusual features of Capture View.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capture View is a capture or screenshot taking program that looks slightly different than others of its kind.
