Capture editor open on a photo, with the toolbar, the colors and the Copy button.
Dimmed screen with the Area, Window, Screen bar and a window outlined in red.

Area, window or screen

A bar at the top of the screen offers Area, Window and Screen; pressing Print Screen again moves to the next choice. In Window mode, the inside only or the whole window is captured depending on where you point. On Windows, the window is read on its own, without the windows lying on top of it.

Photo annotated in Capture, with two blurred faces and colored shapes.

Annotate before copying

Freehand drawing, text, arrow, line, rectangle and ellipse, in eight colors. A rectangle or an ellipse can also blur an area, with an intensity from 1 to 10. The blur cannot be reversed.

Color picker magnifier with the center pixel marked and its color code.

Color picker

Win+Shift+C opens a magnifier on the screen. A click copies the code of the color under it, in #RRGGBB format.
