Don't know exactly what you mean. But to take them I use either:

Apple + Shift + 3 Takes screen puts it on desktop.
Apple + Shift + 4 Takes screen of what you drag and select.
Apple + Shift + 4 + Space Takes screen of window.

Then I use Preview to convert it to jpg and post it here.

Found a nice little app called Screenshot Pro (outdated link removed). Seems to work nice. Nice interface once you understand it :)
