Screen Capture in OSX
Taking screen shots in Apple’s OS X operating system really could not be easier. This video tutorial takes you through three simple keyboard shortcuts that offer different ways to capture elements on your screen.
A quick video tutorial on how to take screen grabs using the OS Shortcuts. The three shortcuts covered :
?? 3 for a screen shot of the entire desktop.
?? 4 for a set of crosshairs that allow you to select the area of the screen you want to grab.
?? 4 (Space) grabs only the window the user clicks.

And for those interested in capturing the moves on the screen (e.g. navigating through menus) in a video file, Quicktime X has a built in screen capture feature.
In Quicktime Player go to “File” and select “New Screen Recording”

Add the Control Key to any of those, and the screen shot will be copied to the clipboard rather than saved as a file. Great for pasting directly into Photoshop!
