Acquiring Screen Captures
If you want to show examples of the work via screenshot, use the Screen Capture program.
To open Screen Capture, select Graphics???Ksnapshot from most Linux KDE menus, or type
ksnapshot. Figure 21-14 shows an example of the Screen Capture program. (You can also take
screen captures from GIMP, described previously.)

Grab a picture of your desktop or selected window with Screen Capture.
When Screen Capture first opens, it takes a snapshot of the full desktop. To take a new snapshot,
choose the Capture Mode (Full Screen, Window Under Cursor, or Region) and click the New
Snapshot button. Use the Save As button to save the snapshot to a file in X bitmap, MS Windows
icons, PNG, portable pixmap, JPEG, X pixmap, Encapsulated PostScript, or Windows BMP format.
Click the Print button to send the snapshot to your printer.
Modifying Images with KPaint
Using the KPaint window, a utility that comes with KDE, you can work with and convert images in
several formats.
