Install Shutter Screenshot Tool on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04. Shutter is a program for taking screenshots on Linux Ubuntu systems. Shutter screenshot program can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, menu, whole screen, or even of a website.
It can also apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window.
Shutter allows you to capture nearly anything on your screen. Here is an overview of what Shutter can be used for:
Capture a Specific Area – This allows you to select an arbitrary region of your screen and capture only those parts you really need. Shutter offers two different tools to do so in order to meet any user’s taste.
Capture your Desktop – Shutter does not only capture all the contents of your desktop (or workspace) – it also supports Multi-monitor settings, e.g. capture the active monitor.
Capture a Window – Simply use your mouse to select the window you want to capture. Shutter will highlight the currently select window in an attractive and useful way. It is even possible to simply select a window from a list and capture it right a way.
Capture a Menu or Tooltip – Capturing menus or tooltips is very easy with Shutter. You select one of the options and a (user-defined) countdown starts. During this time you can open the desired menu or let a specific tooltip come up. Shutter will recognize and capture it.
Capture a Website –Shutter uses gnome-web-photo to capture a website without opening a browser window
You can also install it via the Software Center or run also the following commands in Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter
If you wish to un-install and remove Shutter, run the following command:
sudo apt-get remove shutter
