Photo Magic: 6. Capturing

Parts of the screen can be "captured" as images. You can copy anything you see on the screen into Photo Magic in a variety of ways, and also capture images, mouse cursors, and icons that are embedded into executable files (*.exe) and dynamic link libraries (*.dll).

By default, Photo Magic will minimize its window when you start capturing.

Capture modes
Photo Magic has 3 capture modes:

1. Single capture: activated when the hotkey is pressed.

2. Multiple manual capture: each time the hotkey is pressed, another capture will be made. To use this mode, check Multiple captures.

3. Automated multiple capture: starts when the hotkey is pressed, and then done automatically the specified number of times at specified intervals.
