Static snapshots

PIMSLS has several snapshot functions on the Home tab.

  1. Opens the snapshot menu for the current slide
  2. Takes a quick snapshot of the current grid i.e. all open images (also available in the Grid tab)
  3. Takes a snapshot of all ROIs / annotations that are currently open and downloads them in a ZIP file

Clicking 3 will immediately download the results, whereas options 1 & 2 will open a popup window.
In the popup menu you can customize your snapshot(s) with multiple options related to the slide before saving it. You can specify:

  1. Image Format
  2. Filename Template
  3. Scale type i.e. DPI or resolution based
  4. Show Scale Bar - selecting this will prompt options to customize such as font, location
  5. Show Annotations
  6. Show Slide Overview
  7. Show Barcode
  8. Show Slide Label
  9. Download archive of ROIs

You have two options to save a snapshot, if you press “Save Snapshot” it will generate an image that can be saved on your system or if you press “To Clipboard”, it will copy that slide to clipboard and you can simply paste it elsewhere.
