  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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
