on your computer's desktop, or on its start menu.

The capture cross-hair
may be activated by clicking on the scissors tray icon at the bottom-right corner
of your screen, by using the shortcut key Ctrl+D (configured in your Capture Preferences),
or by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting Normal Capture

When the tool has been activated you may use the cross-hair cursor
to define a rectangular area to capture by clicking and dragging the mouse.
How do I view and change my capture preferences?
The Desktop Scissors preference section allows users: to use multiple monitors with
the program; to activate the capture tool through either a hotkey or by left clicking
the mouse while the cursor is over the scissors icon; to select an option that automatically
stretch the selected image when resizing the image; to select an option that shows
scroll bars for scaling an image down; to allow windows transparency.
What is Windows Transparency?
The windows transparency function allows the user to automatically
set the images’ transparency to a user specified percentage.
This function allows the user to see through the captured image when using
Desktop Scissors in it’s reviewing capacity.
What is the "Multiple Monitors" preference for?
In business applications many developers or analysts use
more than one computer screen during work in order to view various workpapers’ at

This option allows Desktop Scissors to be very versatile and meet the needs
of the business of technically savvy users.
