Screenshots
July 5th, 2009
Well, Shutter at its best: grabbing screenshots
- Define an auto-generated filename using wildcards
- All screenshots are accessible via a session tab…
- …and via a single tab for each capture
- Each tab provides a small navigator window
- You can zoom in and out to have a detailed look at your capture
- Capture a webpage by simply entering the desired URL
- The webpage will be captured full size
- Shutter offers a zoomable selection tool to capture an arbitrary region of the screen
- You can resize and move the selection until you finally want to capture the selected region
- Showing the zoomable interface of the advanced selection tool
- Shutter allows you to select a window by simply clicking on it
- You can even select subsections of a parent window…
- …to select detailed portions of a window, like buttons and text areas for example
- You can choose among different image hosters or traditional FTP to upload your screenshots
- Shutter provides you automatically with useful links to your uploaded captures
- Shutter comes with an existing collection of nice graphics but you can import custom files as well
- Showcasing Shutter’s image editing abilities
- You can add primitives, like rectangles, ellipses etc., and text…
- …or simple highlight some parts of your screenshot using the freehand tool
- Shutter offers nice plugins as well
- There are a lot of plugins shipped with Shutter – most of them are adding nice effects to your captures
- One of the most recent plugins is ‘3D rotate’
- Here is another example of Shutter’s plugins – apply a nice ‘fish-eye’-effect
There are even more Screenshots available showcasing the different features of Shutter:




























It seems great, can you tell me what is the GTK theme
@Dup

Whats with all the “screenshots” of flowers?
how can i put the plugin menu on the toolbar or tab bar.

@dreamer
You can’t yet, but we’ll add it back with a customizable toolbar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/362303
@dreamer
This function was dropped due to major GUI changes. Milestone 0.85 is targeting a lot of usability improvements:

It would be the right place and time to bring the function back in place if users want this.
Maybe we should start a poll for this?
