# Taking Screenshots Without Callouts

To create a screenshot that does not require callouts, follow these steps:

1. Start GIMP.

2. Choose File Acquire Screenshot . A Screen Shot dialog is displayed.

3. Select the options that you require in the Screen Shot dialog, then click OK. GIMP takes the screenshot, and displays the screenshot.

4. If necessary, scale the image down. Save the image as PNG.

Alternatively, to take a screenshot of the desktop, choose Actions Take a Screen Shot . The screenshot is displayed in a Screenshot dialog. If necessary, you can use GIMP to crop the screenshot, or to scale the image down.
