Can I screen grab my current gamescreen?

I want to be able to grab what the current screen is displaying in my game, and preferably, be able to apply an effect on it, ie perhaps blurring the captured image or changing the hue/saturation on it. Is there a way to do that?

297chrisc posted his Image Manipulation Module recently which I think does what you want

And to grab it, just in case you don't know, simply call ReadPixels() at the end of OnRender() - i.e. when you are finished drawing it to the back buffer.

Thanks for the heads-up @rIKmAN. I wasn't aware of this and it does at least two things I want, so I'm going to try it out now! I've not seen any examples of ReadPixels unfortunately, as that was my first thought. I'll give it a try though if @297chrisc's module doesn't work out. Man, I wish I could make some module people could actually use. I suck so hard..
