Screen Capture (ksnapshot) allows you to take a 'snapshot' (aka screenshot, print-screen) of your desktop and save it for later editing and viewing. It captures menus, windows or entire desktops and saves them to a file. Screenshots are saved by default in the png graphic format and can be edited in most standard bitmap graphic programs such as KolourPaint or GIMP.

Two major features are the ability to capture just the top window or the entire desktop. If the box is checked "only capture the window with the cursor" then only the top window will be selected. If this is unchecked, then the entire desktop will be captured. There is a handy delay feature which you can set in seconds. This allows you to position the menu or window in the exact layout you like before the capture takes effect.
