Create screenshot using gimp

Gimp can be used to take screenshots of the screen, or specific window or regions.

Click on File->Create->Screenshot

It will pop the following menu. providing the options to either take the screenshot of the active window, or the entire screen or a specific region. It also allows to add delay in seconds to allow us the close the gimp window and open the window of which we want to take the screenshot of.

When we select the option of screenshot of a specific region, it allows us to specify delay after which we want to select the region to be taken screenshot of and also delay in seconds after which the screenshot should be taken. So it allows us to get out of the gimp window and make the selection of the area, as well as open another application if screenshot needs to be taken of another application.
