Various methods -- there's more than one way to skin a cat.
My preferred MO is 'import', part of the imagemagick package. I usually
import the image into 'xv' for some color and brightness adjustment or
resizing.
My own results are visible at
http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Images/Desktop/.
I've been meaning to add a colophon explaining methods to this page.
Other options:
- xv allows imports of single or multiple windows.
- gimp allows screenshotting, also the *best* way to touch up a
complex shot.
- xwd (X window dump) is the old-fashioned method. It's slow and the
output needs to be converted to a usable format. Not recommended.
