Looks like 'import' is part of ImageMagick:
From man import::
AUTHORS
John Cristy, ImageMagick Studio LLC,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson, ImageMagick Studio LLC.
Lives in the /usr/local/bin directory.
If you do an % import test.jpeg and then position the "+"
cursor and draw out the rectangle with the left mousebutton,
import will capture a JPEG image of thar rectangle.
Thanks for the reminder; I'm making notes this time...
