What do you guys use for screenshotting?

I've been using Scrot but for some reason when I do selections with it, it leaves artifacts from the rectangle (see pic, that white outline shouldn't be there).

Anything as lightweight or at least any way to fix this? Scrot is great aside from this problem.

I use a script for ImageMagick's import tool (scrot is basically useless bloat IMHO). Well, most common screenshot programs have the same problem: they do it right and don't fuck with X while drawing a box, but it makes it problematic with compositing.

You have three options:
- use a tool that doesn't care but works (gnome-screenshot as example)
- kill compositors like compton, compiz, etc before taking a shot
- use this neat tool: https://github.com/gvalkov/xrectsel together with import or scrot
The flag you want is -g

The UNIX way retardation is actually a good thing, because you can get the coordinates of arbitrary rectangles for other things like screen recording and only need 100 line scripts instead of 2,000 line dedicated ffmpeg frontends.
