−====Use Flameshot====
+====Using Flameshot====
+'''Opening Flameshot'''
+* Ubuntu: Open the menu, search for Flameshot, and drag it to the top panel for quick access.
+* Windows & macOS: You can place the Flameshot icon on your home screen for easy access.
+'''Taking a Screenshot'''
+* Click on the Flameshot icon in the top panel (Ubuntu) or home screen (Windows/macOS).
+* A selection tool will appear, allowing you to choose the area you want to capture.
+* Once selected, you can edit the screenshot before saving it.
+'''Key Features of Flameshot'''
+✅ 1. Pin Screenshot to Desktop
+Instead of switching between windows (Alt + Tab), you can pin the captured screenshot directly on your desktop.
+✅ 2. Pixelate (Blur) Sensitive Information
+The Pixelate tool allows you to blur specific areas in the screenshot for privacy.
+✅ 3. Add Text
+You can insert text annotations directly onto the screenshot.
+
+✅ 4. Auto-Incrementing Bubble (Step Numbering)
+If you need to label steps in a screenshot (e.g., Step 1, Step 2, Step 3), you can use the auto-incrementing bubble instead of manually adding text.
+
+✅ 5. Undo & Redo
+Made a mistake while editing? Use Undo/Redo instead of restarting the screenshot process.
+
+✅ 6. Draw Shapes (Rectangles, Squares, Arrows, etc.)
+Highlight important areas using arrows, boxes, and other shapes to emphasize details.
+
+In the GIF below, I demonstrate these features in action! 🎥📸
