Im not sure what you mean exactly.  But hears a real useful trick for 
people who use snapshot.

Snapshot actually calls 'scrsave' as directed by your PATH environment.
So make the following file and save it as 'scrsave' in the directory 
your working in.  Then start up /usr/sbin/snapshot.  All scrsaves done
in snapshot will be run through the filters you put in your scrsave.

#!/bin/csh
# Make scrsave save a black and white image, then
# scale it by .75
#
/usr/sbin/scrsave __tmp.rgb $2 $3 $4 $5 -b
/usr/sbin/izoom __tmp.rgb $1 0.75 0.75 -w 1
/bin/rm __tmp.rgb


By the way, this works for the showcase image gadget too.  Only wish
showcase had a way to extract images so you could edit them.
