The Windows operating system has many handy programs for creating and manipulating screenshots. For example, a very convenient tool for this purpose is included in the Yandex. Disk program. Unfortunately, the linux version of this program has limited functionality. However, to the delight of Linux users, there is an alternative Shutter program, which allows you to take a screenshot in Ubuntu just as conveniently as Yandex. Disk and its analogues.
Necessary
A computer with Ubuntu installed
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to install the Shutter software. You can do this using the Ubuntu Application Center. Just search for the keyword Shutter and click install.
Step 2
After the installation is complete, launch it from the main menu. You can also search the menu by entering the Shutter keyword. After launch, the program icon should appear in the notification area. And also the main window of the program.
Step 3
To take a screenshot, use the tools on the panel in the main program window. You can take a screenshot of the selection, the desktop, the entire screen, one window, and even one window element. The program has rich settings, but even with the default settings, it is completely ready for use as intended. The same tools are duplicated in the drop-down menu if you click on the program icon in the notification area, which is very convenient for quickly creating screenshots.
Step 4
The resulting screenshots can be edited right there in the program. To do this, use the icon with the artist's palette. After clicking on it, a simple editor similar to Paint will open, in which you can cut off the excess, draw arrows and select the required areas with frames, leave text labels, and so on.
Step 5
All screenshots are automatically saved to files. By default, the Pictures folder in your home folder. You can copy and paste the screenshot into a text editor directly from the program using the standard keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V. You can also perform any file operations with a screenshot directly from Shutter. For example, move to the desired folder, go to the screenshot folder, upload to ftp or one of the many online services for storing pictures.
