How do I take a screenshot?

(1/2) > >>

Centurian:
Hey,

Under windows I would just press printscreen and the screenshot would be in the windows directory.

Now I need to take some screen shots in Gnome can anyone tell me how? I have checked the man pages and found nothing and so far have found no way to do this on google.

Any help appreciated thanks

If you have imagemagick installed, you can use the 'import' utility. To use it, just type 'import <filename>.<ext>'. You can pick whatever extension you want. If you want to take a screenshot of the entire window, type 'import -window root <filename>.<ext>'.

Centurian:
Hey,

Cool thanks much. I was searching some more on Google and found another option also. Gnome has an applet called screenshooter that can live in the panel. You can click it to either take a full screen or partial screen pic.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Under KDE I really like "ksnapshot".  It should work in Gnome too.
