Crop and scale tab

This tab sets options related to clipping out unwanted parts of your image or automatically reducing the image's size.

Crop image - define the values here in pixels, setting the amount from the left, top, or as a percentage of the width (for example, by 50%). You can pre-set all captures to have the specified region removed automatically.

Cropping setup.

The easiest way to set this to the desired figure is to define a selection rectangle in HyperSnap-DX 5's workspace and then click the button Set to current selection rectangle. This is much faster than typing in "guessing" values.

Set to current selection rectangle - click this to automatically set the cropping box to the values present inside the current HyperSnap-DX 5 document window

Scale image - enable this and set options here to automatically reduce (or enlarge) your captured images. This can be either in pixels or in scaling factors, and you can set either values independently. For example, you can scale the Width to 200 pixels wide and the height by 50%. However generally it's easier to understand what the results will be if you keep both values the same.

Keep aspect - check this if you are working the scaling in pixels (it will be disabled if you're working in "scaling factor" and the image will automatically be sized up and down without becoming distorted.

Interpolate colors - check this to apply certain logic to the image that will improve the scaling by making intelligent "guesses" regarding the new pixels that may need to be created as an image is scaled. Sometimes images will appear less "chunky" or "aliased" when scaled if you enable this option. It has the effect of smoothing the scaling operation and making it less noticeable, especially on intermediate scaling functions (small percentages or pixel counts).
