After partition tool GParted take a screen snapshot, where is the file located?

After partition tool GParted is done with the partitioning, I looked at the details and the further details of each action by clicking on them.

"GParted is a boot CD, so its file-system is local and resides in memory, and is lost after it terminates.

You must save the screenshots on a real disk.

I quote from HOWTO backup any output from the livecd:

Open a terminal from the panel, by clicking the terminal icon and then type the following :

fdisk -ul > myfile.txt

plug your usb key and type :

fdisk -l | grep sd*

search for your just plugged key : it could be something like sda1, or if you have sata or scsi hard disk, it could be sdb1 or even sdc1... try to guess : may be you could unplug your key and run the ""fdisk -l"" command again to see the differences...
Imagine your key is plugged on sdb1, then type :

mkdir /tmp/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/usb cp
myfile.txt /tmp/usb ls /tmp/usb
(there you MUST see myfile.txt !)
umount /tmp/usb

unplug your key and plug it on your pc (after you have booted your OS), to get the file."
