The Edit Dialog allows for various options of editing the selected image. This dialog contains options of screen capturing, too.

In the Options window there is a pageframe with four pages (Format, Image, Capture and Other). In the page Format all checkboxes of file opening and saving are checked and disabled in the shareware version of the utility. In the page Image you can set some options for JPG, GIF and ICO files.
