>>> How to Make Screenshot for Manual with Alpha Blending 3D Border <<<
|
|
|
|
- Never use advanced color theme to make screenshots. Always use KDE default color and icon set.
|
|
|
|
- Use KSnapshot or Gimp Import to take a shot. Use region selection option to select only
|
|
important area. Remove buttons and dialog header to limit image file size.
|
|
_ALWAYS use PNG file format to save image.
|
|
|
|
- Open your screenshot in Gimp 2.0 and make operations below:
|
|
|
|
* Script-Fu/Decor/Add Border with this options :
|
|
-> Border X Size = 1
|
|
-> Border Y Size = 1
|
|
-> Border Color = black (R:0, G:0, B:0)
|
|
-> Delata Value on Color = 1
|
|
* Image/Flatten Image
|
|
* Script-Fu/Shadow/Drop-Shadow with this options :
|
|
-> Offset X = 5
|
|
-> Offset Y = 5
|
|
-> Blur Radius = 10
|
|
-> Color = black (R:0, G:0, B:0)
|
|
-> Opacity = 80
|
|
-> Allow Resizing = On
|
|
* Save target image in PNG with max compression (Compression Level = 9)
|
|
|
|
Note : A gimp2.[2,3] script from Gerhard Kulzer can be used to add Alpha Blending 3D Border around screenshots.
|
|
Always use default settings. Script can be downloaded from this url:

!----------Important-------------!

Since the documentation is very good it is also very demanding in terms of volume, 99% whereof are screenshots. In order to limit the byte count to the minimum the following command chain shall be used to reduce the png file size. A factor of 2-4 can be gained. From within the folder where the png reside issue this command (requires pngnq and optipng to be installed on the system):
|
|
|
|
pngnq -s 1 ./*.png && optipng *-nq8.png && rename -f s/-nq8\.png/.png/ *-nq8.png
