Hi Team,
As part of automation process i am expected to use the snip tool using UiPath studio.
Screen contains information like name, account no etc. At the bottom of the screen there is an image which contains hand written signature. Bot expected to open snip tool and scrape only that signature part. Need help to do this
You have something called a take screenshot activity which can be used instead of snipping tool..you can pass the selector of the signature area so that only that area screenshot is taken
Hope this helps
Cheers
Hello @Honda
You can use the Take Screenshot activity to snap a image of part of the screen.

Avoid using an additional Ui interaction with Snipping tool when you have native support of screenshot taking feature.
Use Take Screenshot activity and specify the Ui Element which will contain the signature.
Thanks to all for your quick response.
As part of their manual process they are using snipping tool to scrape the signature area and not even saving the captured image in snip tool minimizing it and clicking the button in the app that interacts with the snip tool. Looks like they wanted to use the same steps in automation as well.
Once we save the signature using take screenshot activity is there a way to paste that in snip tool ?
Hi @Honda
Check this,
I need to paste the saved image or copied image in snip tool or scrape directly from snip tool
As per my knowledge, For scraping data from images, use Screen Scraping or OCR activities instead of Snip tool. Try might be work
Still that’s a bad idea. There isn’t necessary to have To Be process same as AS Is process. Also no value added by that step. Get the process standardized and then automate it.
If the idea is to not to save as a file, you can save to clipboard using below option. this is the same what the snipping tool is also doing. You can paste wherever required later
Yes you can copy the image or load it to a file ..there are multiple things that you can do..also you can directly save to clipboard or even delete the gile after you save it
Cheers
