PiP (Picture in Picture) and Crop
| With PiP, you can easily change the window to an interactive thumbnail, control it with the mouse and keyboard, and crop it. | Interact mode lets you see a bigger preview with your mouse cursor above the window. So you don’t have to make the PiP bigger to see where you click or read. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | PiP also allows hiding the original window (*Default) | Or you can configure it so as not to hide the original window. You can configure the default behavior and also toggle it via the toolbar. | | You can drag the PiP view when the mouse is not above some text. The function treats it as a text-selection operation when it is above text. | PiP also includes an auto-move function that automatically moves the PiP view away from any text or image on the screen. |

This includes everything else that comes with PiP, such as mouse interaction, etc. | You can modify the crop selection directly from the native window (if “Show original window” is enabled) and instantly see the result on the PiP view. | |---|---| | PiP also allows hiding the original window (*Default) | Crop without hiding the original window |
