There are few ways to do screen capture in Mac OS X.
 I always forget how to do this and it is so handy when sending an image of a problem to a client or vendor.

EXAMPLE: I know the site looks terrible in IE6  but it looks fine in every other browser ( update your pc you b**tard!!!! ) Anyway i digress …

Follow the steps below and you will be able to do a screen capture in Mac OS X.
•    Switch to the screen that you wan to to do screen capture
•    Hold down Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3 and release all
then use your mouse to click on the screen

Done. You will see a picture file in at your desktop. That’s the screen capture picture.

You can also do a screen capture for a portion of your screen.
•    Switch to the screen that you wan to to do screen capture
•    Hold down Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4 and release all key
•    Now, You will see the mouse cursor will change to +
•    You can start to drag your mouse to select the portion you wish to capture.
•    Once finished, you will see a picture file in at your desktop. That’s the screen capture picture!

 

If you want to do a screen capture for a particular application window, you can follow this:-
•    Switch to the screen that you wan to to do screen capture
•    Hold down Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4 and release all key
