Region Capture

Region A region capture option is used to capture a region on the screen. A cross-hair appears on selecting 'Region Capture', drag it down and release the mouse to select the region. Pointer The pointer waits until user selects and drags on a region. Cursor point zooms-in the hovered region for a better view of capture coordinates. Click escape key or the mouse right button to cancel the capture operation. In addition, press 'r' key to re-select the region if the original selection is wrong. User Users can customize in User preferences to show magnifier and capture mouse pointer.

...

Capture preferences help to set capture delay and enable/disable showing magnifier and mouse pointer. If 'Auto Clipboard Copy' is enabled, the captured image is automatically copied to Clipboard. All screenshots captured using the region capture are maintained in the PNG image format. 

Once the region is selected, the screenshot in that region is captured and created as a new tab. The application tries to obtain the window title, and website URL, etc. as applicable depending on where the screenshot is taken.

...

This operates the same as Region Capture and the only difference is that the captured image is copied to Clipboard. GetPixit Pixtel does not store the captured screenshot. This is helpful for transient captures which that are not required to be managed and can be discarded after a single-use.

Last Region

The recently captured region will be remembered and it can be used to recapture as a New image with this option.

Region Text

GetPixit Pixtel has integrated OCR technology that helps to extract text from images, videovideos, documents, etc. Extracted text can be copied to clipboard using Copy Text. If the text in the screenshot is small, try to zoom in for better text extraction.
