ImageWell is very handy at taking screen shots and labeling them (more on labeling in the next
section). ImageWell automatically imports the screen shot into the well for instant editing and
sending. Various grab options are available including Screen Grab, Screen Selection, and Timed Screen
Grab. You can even screen grab from a secondary monitor that is connected to your computer.
Grab Full Screen
Pressing the screen grab button causes ImageWell to momentarily disappear from the screen, grab
the screen, and then re-appear with the screen shot already in the well. Click the screen grab button
and give it a quick try.
Grab Selection - Two Modes
Click the grab selection button to grab a specific area on your screen. The ImageWell window will
disappear and a cross hair will appear allowing you to select an area on the screen. Click and drag your
mouse to select the area you want to grab. ImageWell will then re-appear with your screen shot
already in the well.
The grab selection mode also lets you grab a screen shot of an application window. After clicking the
grab selection button, press the space bar - the cross hair changes to a camera. Move the camera over
a window and click your mouse. ImageWell will take a screen shot of that window. Pressing the space
bar again, returns the camera back to the cross hair selection mode.
Timed Screen Grab
This feature is only available through the Services menu. Selecting Timed Screen will activate the built
in OS X grab utility with a timer (ImageWell will not go invisible). The screen image will be
automatically imported into ImageWell. Timed grab will only perform a full screen capture; it does not
allow for screen selection.
Accessible From 3 Different Areas:
The grab features can be accessed from 3 different areas:
• Under the More Tab: Handy Grab Screen and Grab Selection buttons are readily available
under the More tab.
• Main Menu: Grab Screen and Grab Selection can also be activated from the Main Menu under Tools.
• Services Menu: The Timed Screen option is available from ImageWell-->Services-->Grab
(this activates the built in OS X grab utility).
Now that we have a screen shot, it's time to add some labels. Click here to learn
