+>>> How to Make Screenshot for Manual with Alpha Blending 3D Border <<<
+
+- Never use advanced color theme to make screenshots. Always use KDE default color.
+
+- Use KSnapshot for take a shot. Use region selection option for take only
+ important area. Remove buttons and dialog hearder for 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 script from Gerhard Kulzer can be use to add Alpha Blending 3D Border around screenshots.
+ Always use default settings. Script can be downloaded from this url:
