  • I'm going to notice that this application doesn't install on ubuntu 16.04, in fact, it runs on 18.04+. However, by this post you can compile it on the earlier versions of ubuntu and use it well.

I have found ksnip - very good screenshot tool with edit and annotate features, that available on Linux/Windows/MacOS! It have classic user interface, based on Qt, and all modern features, such as editing, cropping, annotate with arrows and text (with allow to drag/edit later), upload to imgur.com, etc. ksnip screenshot

Shutter is great!

But the "edit" option is somehow disable after installing. To re-enable it, follow the quick solution here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1119283/323310

Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. enter image description here

Click on Area under Capture Mode and select Rectangular Region. This will allow you to capture a specific region. Tap Enter once you select the region. Use the Annotate to edit the screen capture as you would like.

PS: Flameshot doesn't work for Kubuntu. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

For a long time, SHUTTER has been a grest screenshot editor+ in LINUX.

But, PhotoScape (3.7) installed in wine, is much better than SHUTTER in many functions.

Who once experenced PhotoScape (3.7) should never use again SHUTTER.

I strongly recommend to replace SHUTTER with PhotoScape (3.7).installed in wine.

To download PhotoScape (3.7) go to http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php
