Hi all, i'm trying to work out how to slow down Take a screenshot of a selected area.. iv'e tried changing to wait for 3 seconds but i get a blue inner box, showing me it's taking the selected area too quickly. Is there any way of slowing it down?. Below is a small area iv'e taken with Takescreen shot to show what i mean.
I didn't have this problem on other Zorin OS versions.
Cheers

Hi, if it is selected area changing the time won't make any difference - what will make a difference is 'whole screen' or 'current window' set to 5 seconds. Install Shutter - I don't know why Shutter is not bundled instead - it has far more flexible options! :D

Open a terminal and enter:

Code:
sudo apt-get install shutter

Thanks Swarfendor.... iv'e turned off animations in Compiz config settings manager and it seems to work ok now. I guess it's the speed of the animations i have to adjust somehow. Also i have already installed Shutter which will do what i want.
Thanks for your help.
