How to create and upload images?

Good methods to create images:

1. Use the built-in iMacros Image Recognition Wizard (recommended).

2. Use the Windows Print-Screen command or a screenshot tool such as SnagIt.

3. Use the screenshots you get from the Alertfox "Test Now" command and extract the images for there. This has the advantage that your image is automatically in the correct 16-bit resolution.

To upload images log into your AlertFox account and go to Settings > Upload images. After you upload an images it takes only a few seconds to sync this image with all AlertFox test servers. You can then go to your iMacros sensors and run Test Now.

Tips:

a. You may want to set your desktop to 16-bit "high color" resolution, as this is the color resolution used on all transaction monitoring servers. Typically most desktop PCs use 32-bit color resolution as default, but you can easily change it to 16-bit. This is not required, as the iMacros computer vision algorithm can handle different color resolutions, but it makes the recognition a bit better.

b. Use PNG as image format.
