Screen Capture Just A Window
You are probably familiar with Mac's screen capture shortcuts - Shift-CMD-3 to capture the whole screen and Shift-CMD-4 to capture a portion of the window. But did you know that you can capture just a window?
To capture just a window, press Shift-CMD-4 followed by Shift-CMD-Space. Your windows will be captured as a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file named Picture 1.png on your Desktop.
Before I knew about this shortcut, I always had to edit my screen capture in Photoshop to make the window look decent. Now all I need to do is to rename the picture and save it in JPEG format, and I'm ready to share my screen capture.
