First - Great tool. Love it!

I need regularly to combine a series of screen shots together into one "quilt" to explain a series of steps. I want to do this in one Clarify Step rather than spead it out over a series of Clarify Steps.
Because the clicks/steps are simple and don't warant their own big Clarify Step.

Press button: A ... up pops window x ... select drop down: abc ... then ... then ...

How can I paste, arrange and annotate multiple screen shots into one Clarify Step.
Then ... your tool would really be productive! Currently I do it all in Omnigraffle and paste the results into Clarify.

My comments would apply to ScreenSteps too.

I appreciate your help - especially if its you Greg!
Regards,
Stephen

Stephen -

There isn't a way to add multiple images to a step at this point. Doing what your doing with OmniGraffle is probably the best approach if you really need to combine images.

This is the very reason that clarify has not become a part of my workflow. I require such a method which in reality should be something simple to implement.
On the surface Clarfiy is an outstanding application, but the absence of this feature is reason enough for me not to use it or recommend it to other users!

@Keith: Sorry to hear this is a deal breaker for your Keith. Multiple images within a step will be added in a future version. Until then one must rely on 3rd party image editors or positioning images one after the other in steps that don't have any text in them.

I understand where you guys are coming from when it comes to having one image per step and I've been really enjoying using this tool at my new qa position.

Please put me on whatever list you have for people who want to shot themselves in the foot and make their lives more complicated by having more than one image.

Thank you, again!

@Mandaris Multiple images per step will be available in the next major upgrade to Clarify. There will be no need to shoot any appendages.

I hope the multiple images per step is added soon. I just purchases this with mac heist and to me it's useless without this feature, and I'll have to go back to using PowerPoint. I'm often needing two images and having arrows pointing to things in both images (on one 'slide' / 'step' )

Hi Trevor,

when will that update be?
(that feature would be really important to me)

Best Regards from germany.

@Rick, @Fritz - we don't have any announcements to make yet regarding a date for the next Clarify upgrade that will support multiple images.

My images from iphone way too big. How do I proportion them to fit in the image window as they should look? As it is not I am just seeing one small area of very large image in the window. Thanks for the help

@Gen Take a look at these articles on resizing images:

How to resize an image using the Step Inspector: http://help.clarify-it.com/m/clarify/l/63925

Resizing every image you capture: http://help.clarify-it.com/m/clarify/l/62054

I'm just giving Clarify a trial run and the multiple image per step feature is an absolute must for me too.

Any idea when this update will take place?

Otherwise, a great application!

TIA

@MacAddict -

We still don't have any announcements about multiple image support.

Thanks Greg. Hopefully that will happen sooner than later. I know a workaround would be to edit and combine images in another application and then use Clarify, but I'd like to avoid doing more work than necessary.

I may have to wait on my purchase until that feature is implemented. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later.

Thanks again!

I understand you don't support scrolling full-screen captures. I use Snagit for this. But I cannot figure out a way to use their screencaptures in Clarify. Is there a way?

@Karen You can configure SnagIt to place image captures on the clipboard. You could then use the Edit > Paste menu in Clarify to paste the image. I know on OS X you can also drag images from the image bin at the bottom of the editor directly onto a Clarify document and the image will be added to Clarify.

@Trevor

Thanks! The copy and paste worked great.

I was worried it wouldn't because Snagit only outputs as either 'snagproj' or pdf files, neither of which Clarify supports. I had tried attaching these, with no luck. The copy and paste worked great though.

@Trevor

Unfortunately, the drag and drop didn't work at all. It looks like Snagproject file types aren't enabled.

When I dragged one over, all that appeared was a blank window where the image should be.

So the only way I can import a Snagit screen capture is by using the one that's currently on my clipboard?

@Karen I was able to get drag and drop to work with SnagIt 2 on OS X. Here are instructions showing what I did:
