You may also want to take a look at scrot (sudo apt-get install scrot). 
It is a command line utility that lets you take screenshots. For
example, to select an area of the screen and have a 5 second countdown,
execute something like this: 
> scrot -scd 5 test.png

man scrot for additional details.

There is also imagemagick that has similar functionality (and many more
commands for manipulating images).
