Define Count Areas

Available for:
When your photo has more objects than the stack you want to count, define the counting area and obtain relevant results for the selected items.
As an example, we will use a photo with drawn x’s and the Xs on White Paper Counting Template. The Count Area feature is available in the Prepare Screen, before counting the photo.
