“Shutter is a fully loaded open source screenshot app
for Linux. It is fairly easy to use and especially useful for
bloggers. Using shutter, you can take a screenshot of a specific
area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website – apply
different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then
upload to an image hosting site, all within one window.

“Shutter Feature List

* Take a screenshot of your complete desktop, a rectangular area
or capture a website.
* Take screenshot directly or with a specified delay time.
* Well integrated into the Gnome Desktop.
* Shutter comes loaded with useful effects like blur, draw arrows,
highlight, cornereffects, pixelize etc. which are essential from a
blogger point of view.”
