I just found a nice little addition to this command shift 4 option, do this
command/ shift/4 then click the space bar. a pretty little camera shows up to click a picture of which ever window you want including your desktop without all the icons check this out!
AGAIN: COMMAND/ SHIFT/ 4/ THEN SPACEBAR

To convert them to .jpg i'd paste in Microsoft word, then right-click or alt-click then hit save as picture. then select the .jpg and save to wherever you want.

There is a an much easier way to to do it. You can do it right from within Preview. Just open the picture and choose File | Export. You'll have a bunch of options to choose from.

exactly what I was about to say. also, dont forget that holding option during any of these copies the screenshot to the clipboard for pasting into apps, as opposed to saving it to the desktop.

Maybe you could add this to the first post?

To take a delayed screen shot of the login screen (which is owned by root), or to get a good Dashboard or FrontRow shot open Terminal and type:

sudo -s

(Type your admin's password)

nohup bash -c "sleep 60; screencapture ~/Pictures/screen.pdf"

The number 60 is seconds, you can change it to whatever you want. You can also save it to whereever you'd like. Enjoy! :mac:

When I take a snapshot of my dock using the Command-Shift-4-Spacebar thing, all I get is a gray bar with no icons. Is this normal/is there any way to take a snapshot of my dock and have the icons show up?

[surfwax95]

You have to hit Command+Shift+4 which brings up the little cross thingy...this cross thingy lets you drag a square around whatever you want to take a screenshot of(your dock in this case).

Hitting space turns it into a camera which will only take the shot of what's high-lighted.

cool trick!
