Profiles • Comes with built-in profiles with minimal configurations.
Profiles • Customize and save as My Profiles: • Input – Region, full screen, etc. • Output – File, email, other. • Effects – Image size, border, caption, resolution, etc. • Options – Mouse cursor on, keep web links alive, multiple screen areas, timed captures, etc.
Profiles • I use this to: • Create profiles with various resolutions and sizes. • Add a specific border to each capture. • Add edge effects to a capture. • Set Hotkeys.
Profiles Examples: • Ctrl+Alt+B = Image reduced 75% with a 1 point border, previews in the editor. • Ctrl+Alt+R = Regular capture with no effects, previews in editor.

Profiles • Select the new profile, and then use the Profile Settings to select Input, Output, and Effect options to assign to it.
Profiles • You can turn on the OneClick option from the Related Tasks section of the Capture tool.
Profiles • OneClick lets you select a type of capture using the OneClick menu. • Don’t need to remember hotkeys.
