With newer releases of Mint there is another, better way, to save screenshots. Press the prt sc key. A window called Screenshot will appear. Select a region and click OK. Drag the cross shaped cursor from one corner of the screen to the other. The area of the screenshot is selected. A new Screenshot window appears. Save the screenshot, and click OK. From the new window type in a file name, and choose a folder location for the screenshot file. That's it!
gThumb is a photo editing program for Ubuntu. It allows me to crop images, like Paint does in Windows. I use it often for my webpages. If I do a print screen, gThumb allows me to select the part of the screen I want as a jpg picture.
Open your terminal and type the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gthumb
Type Y and hit Enter. Restart your computer. If for some reason you have difficulty installing, google the most recent installation instructions.
Press the button PrtSc on your keyboard. Only press it once. A print screen picture will be displayed on your screen. In the upper left hand corner is a box that says Edit in. Click on it, and you will see a dropdown box with a list of editors in it. Select the gThumb editor. Under Format you will see a crop button. Click on the crop button. The gThumb image will resize and a white bordered box will appear. Place your cursor inside the corner of the box and drag the box to select the part of the image you want. When you are satisfied click on Accept. The screen will change again to show the selected image. Go to the icon with three bars and click. Save the image in your Documents folder, or to the images folder of your website.
