Off-topic: Snip For Mac
Get Snip It
This is another off-topic. But I wanted to highlight this most handy application called and is also. Those PC users, who also used to be Snipping Tool dependants, and then became Mac OS user, would love to have an application in Mac OS X which would compensate Snipping Tool’s absence. I used to crib about the lack of an application that I would use to do screen capturing and post-processing those captures. This tool, which I came to know very recently, has done what other applications on Mac platform couldn’t.
We have built-in capturing commands in Mac OS X, such as SHIFT+CMD+4 ( to capture a portion of screen), but those commands would simply take the screenshot and immediately save it on your desktop. You then have to reopen it on some other graphics tool to post-process it, such as narrating or simply painting on some text which you do not want to show to others. This tool is amazingly simple and does exactly what you need. It just sits on that menu bar with a customisable keyboard shortcut to invoke a screen capture.

Go to the official website ( link is provided in the beginning of this post) and know more about it. Trust me, you would most certainly fall in love with this application, if you do tons of screen capturing on your day-to-day Mac OS usage.

Command-Shift-4 It turns the cursor into a crosshair, which you can drag to select a portion of your screen to capture. Release the mouse button or trackpad to take the shot. Command-Shift-4, then space bar, then click on a window Hitting the space bar turns the crosshair into a little camera icon, which you can move over any open window. Click on your desired window to take a screenshot of it. A screenshot captured by this method features a white border around the window with a bit of a drop shadow.
