Screenshots

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
Shutter allows you to select a window by simply clicking on it
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
You can crop your screenshots as well
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 plugins is ‘3D rotate’
Here is another example of Shutter’s plugins – apply a nice ‘fish-eye’-effect
