The following is a suggestion of a good and efficient method using the MSPAINT software. MSPAINT is a simple image editor that is part of the Windows operating system by default.
1. Surf to the website that you want to automate or test using the iMacro Browser.
2. Go to ImageSearch => Create ImageClip.
iMacros will then take a screenshot of the current web page and open it in MSPAINT:
3. In our example, we want to automate the Flash calculator, shown at http://www.iopus.com/imacros/demo/v4/flash/ and create an image for the button with the number 8.
4. In MSPAINT, choose the "Select" tool (see the red circle in the figure above).
5. Use the Select tool and mark an area around the button 8.
6. After you have marked the area around button 8, right-click the mouse and select the "Copy To..." command.
7. A file dialog box opens. By default, we recommend that you store the images in the datasources folder of iMacros.
8. Select a name for the selected area that you want to save, e.g. button8.bmp. You must store the image in "24-bit Bitmap" format.
9. It's that easy; you are finished! You can now point the IMAGE parameter of any IMAGESEARCH or IMAGECLICK command to point to the just created button8.bmp
