Working with objects
Most tools create modifiable objects. Left-click an existing to object to select it. Click and drag inside the object to reposition it or drag the border markers to resize it. Drag the center square to rotate an object.
Object hierarchy
The most recently added object always has the highest position on the object hierarchy and appears on top of every other object. To alter this position and have the arrow appear below the ellipse, use the context menu.
Object styles
Click the gear symbol to access existing object styles and click on an entry to adjust the visual appearance of your object. Use “Add” to add the current object style as a new style and “Delete” to delete the selected style from the list.
Object properties
Whenever you select or create a new object you will see its properties at the bottom of the screen. These are the most frequent object properties:
Size / Width Sets the stroke or border width.
Color Allows you to specify a color through a menu or the color selection dialog.
Tolerance Affects how much an effect extends to pixels of a similar color.
Shadow Enables/Disables the drop shadow effect.
Line Style Adjusts the line style, e.g. turning the outline of a rectangle into dotted lines.
Opacity Affects the opacity of an object. Higher values make objects appear translucent.
Context menu
Right-click an object to access its context menu.
Width Highlighted Object at Mouse Cursor Do / With Selected Object Do Snap distinguishes between the currently selected object and the object below the mouse pointer. When a large rectangle sits on top of a small circle, you will usually have to move the rectangle out of the way or modify the
object hierarchy to access the circle. “With Highlighted Object at Mouse Cursor Do” allows you to access the object without doing so.
Clone (Copy) Object Creates a copy and inserts it next to the object.
Paste Object Inserts a copied object at its original position into the screenshot.
Cut Object Copies the object to the clipboard and removes it from the screenshot.
Delete Object Deletes the object from the screenshot.

Previous Object Selects the object that precedes the current object in the object hierarchy.
Choose Object This is a list of all objects that sit below the mouse pointer. Click an entry to select the associated object.
Modifying objects after saving
Snap allows you to modify objects in saved screenshots. This is possible because Snap creates a separate SNAPDOC file for each capture. This format retains all object settings and properties, unlike traditional image formats, allowing you to alter them at a later time. When you load an existing image with Snap, Snap will always use the SNAPDOC copy, if available. This mechanism also enables you to undo all changes to a screenshot and restore the original image, if needed.
Image settings
These features let you perform typical image processing tasks such as image rotation. Note that some settings such as the copyright feature not only affect the current file but also future files.
Undo All / Reset to Original Reverts all changes and restores the original image.
Undo Undoes the last operation.
Redo Redoes the last undone operation.
Zoom Out Zooms out of the image.
Zoom 100% Resets the zoom level to 100%.

Change Background Color/Flatten Layers
Convert to 24bit Decreases the color depth to 24bit and replaces all transparent pixels with a color.
Flatten layers Paints all objects into the image. Afterwards, the objects will no longer be editable.
Resize Capture Adjusts the image size.
Resize Canvas Adjusts the size of the canvas. For example, if your image is 500×500 pixels and you use a value of 800, Snap will create a 300 pixel wide border around the image that allows you to add additional objects outside the image. If your image is 24bit, the border will be of the specified color. Otherwise, it will be transparent.
