How to take screenshot?

[mark-v]

No one usual way works. How it works in Kali?

[Rasalom]

apt install imagemagick && import -window root screenshot.png

[mark-v]

imagemagick does not display correctly on 4K resolution

Are you saying that the following command won't take a screenshot in 4k?
import -window root screenshot.png

They will. But I need not full screenshot. I need rectangular area of screen and screenshot of active window

Then use this command :

import screenshot.png

Use your mouse to click the window you wish to capture.


Or, edit the full screenshot in GIMP to select the exact area you want.

Then use this command :
import screenshot.png

Where screenshot saved after this command? There are no files in the folder Images

When you press Cntrl and PrtSc it is a copy command that is held in the buffer. All you do is paste it applications like Libreoffice or Gimp.
#Gimp is the best you just Open Gimp then go to edit then paste.

Then you can use rectangle and select the portion you need. Click Cntrl X then make a new image with Cntrl shift V then export as to my new super duper.png

Seems there is no Kali default DE in my system because no one of the command from the link doesn't work. How to set up Kali default DE?
