scrot has many useful features: - Support for multiple image formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, and others. - The screenshot's quality is configurable. - It is possible to capture a specific window or a rectangular area on the screen. - Other features.
Because scrot is a command line utility, it can easily be scripted and put to novel uses. For instance, scrot can be used to monitor a desktop PC in absence and register unwanted activities.

Try from this /bin/sh -c 'LC_ALL=C scrot --quality 100 ~/Images/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S%1N).jpg' works great

Bound to keyboard shortcuts and it works great. For example, I bound Alt-PrtSc to capture the active window using "scrot '/tmp/%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_scrot.png' --focused --exec 'pinta $f'" -- saving the file to /tmp and launching the image in Pinta for tweaking.

No idea how to start it. Typing "scrot" into a terminal does nothing. Scrot is not listed among installed software in the menu.
