Create a New Profile Based on an Existing Profile

Save new settings as an updated profile, as a new profile, or use the profile settings once and do not save them.

When you change profile settings, the profile selected in the Profiles pane has a yellow box around it and an asterisk next to the profile name to indicate you have modified a profile.

The following instructions provide a general method for changing your settings followed in parenthesis by a specific example. Substitute any profile and select your desired profile settings.

Select a Profile close to what you need. (In the Profiles pane, click the Window profile.)

If necessary, change the Output. (In the Profile settings pane, select Output > Email from the dropdown list.)

Include an Effect to add a special Effect, specific size, color, or resolution requirement. (In the Profile settings pane, select Effects > Edge Effect > Drop Shadow Edge from the dropdown menu.)

Customize the Edge Effect in the Edge Effect task page. (In the Drop Shadow Edge task page, set the Shadow Depth to 40.)

Click the Capture button to take the capture. (Move the rectangle around the screen to highlight a window. Click with the mouse to capture. The capture displays within the Capture Preview window.)
