Image Capture

image_editor

Purpose

The Drawing Tools image editor lets you capture a section of the current screen or application under test, add annotations to help document the image, and then attach the final result to the current test case, test step, or manual test result.

How to Open

You can open the Drawing Tools dialog box by clicking the Image icon in the various rich text editors in Rapise. When you do that, Rapise will minimize itself and display the following screen:

image_editor_select_screen_region

You now need to draw a rectangle on your screen to indicate which part of the screen you want to capture. Once defined, the image editor will open with the selected screen area. If you press the ESC key, the editor will open without an initial image.
