How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”

When you click the capture button (📸) in a sketch row’s screenshot cell:

  1. Monitor Selection — A picker appears showing all connected displays
  2. Capture Mode — Choose between full-screen or region capture
  3. Region Selection — Draw a rectangle on the screen to capture a specific area
  4. Preview — The captured image is immediately shown in the sketch table

Multi-Monitor Support

Section titled “Multi-Monitor Support”

CutReady detects all connected monitors and presents them as selectable thumbnails. This is especially useful for demos that span multiple screens or when you need to capture from a specific display.

Region Selection

Section titled “Region Selection”

The region selector uses a dedicated capture window — a transparent, borderless overlay that covers the selected monitor. Draw a rectangle to select exactly the area you want to capture.

Features:

  • Crosshair cursor for precise selection
  • Coordinates overlay showing the selected region
  • Escape to cancel the capture
  • Captured image is automatically cropped to the selection
Section titled “Lightbox Preview”

Click any screenshot thumbnail in the planning table to open a lightbox view — a full-size overlay with:

  • Zoomed view of the captured image
  • Click outside or press Escape to close

Storage

Section titled “Storage”

Screenshots are stored as part of the sketch document within the project folder. They are version-controlled alongside the sketch content, so previous versions of screenshots are always recoverable.
