KSnapshot — зручний інструмент, основним завданням якого є створення знімків вікон і екрана.

Вступ

Чи хотілося вам колись показати іншим яким чудовим може бути програмне забезпечення KDE, останній рівень у грі, який ви щойно пройшли або віртуальний акваріум з рибками? KSnapshot може створити знімки всіх цих чудових моментів і навіть надасть вам змогу налаштувати спосіб збереження і вигляд остаточного зображення.

Features

Snapshot another picture

Perhaps you did not like the image that was taken. Luckily you can easily snap another screenshot by clicking on the New Snapshot button, as outlined in the picture at the top of this page.

Save the image

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.
