KSnapshot

KSnapshot es una práctica utilidad diseñada principalmente para hacer capturas de pantalla

Introducción

¿Alguna vez has querido mostrar al mundo lo maravilloso que es el software KDE, el último nivel que acabas de batir en tu juego o quizás tu pecera virtual? KSnapshot grabará cada uno de estos momentos e incluso te permitirá personalizar el aspecto de la imagen final cuando guardes.

Características

Capturar otra imagen

Puede que no te haya gustado la imagen que has tomado. Afortunadamente puedes tomar otra captura de pantalla fácilmente haciendo clic en el botón Nueva instantánea, que se ve en la imagen de la parte superior de esta página.

Guardar la imagen

What use would this program be if you couldn't save your image afterwards? KSnapshot allows you to save your picture in many file formats. Below is a list of all of them;

• png
• xpm
• pbm
• rgb
• tga
• ppm
• bmp
• eps
• mng
• tiff
• jpeg
• pcx
• xbm

Open with

This allows you to open the image in an external application (such as KolourPaint or Krita). Perhaps you wish to edit the image or add something to it. Using a external application in this scenario would be a good idea.
With regard to what format you should save your image as, this depends on your needs. The most common image formats found today are png and jpeg. The other formats are still useful for various other uses.

Copy to clipboard

This means that you will be able to paste the image (generally Ctrl + V) into another program or document that supports image pasting.

Capture mode

This will further change how the image will look when it's finally saved. Options here include;

• Fullscreen: Everything is captured
• Window under cursor: Window contents below the cursor
• Region: Capture a specific region
• Section of window: A portion of an active window
• Current screen: Present screen

Snapshot delay

Set a timer here (in seconds). For example putting this up to 10 seconds will make KSnapshot wait 10 seconds until the screenshot is taken. This is particularly useful if you need to capture drop-down menus, or anything else that only responds to a mouse action.
