Take screenshots easily with SnapNDrag
Here's a handy piece of freeware for creating screenshots. SnapNDrag allows you to quickly grab a snapshot of your Mac's full screen, just a window, or a user-defined section of the screen. Don't worry about trying to remember key combinations (I, for one, am a die hard keyboard jockey, but I know there are those of you who aren't). The resulting image is stored in a well that you can simply drag onto your desktop, into an email message, etc. SnapNDrag supports PNG, TIFF and JPEG. You can use SnapNDrag for free or pay $5 for the pro version, which lets you resize your image, assign global hotkeys and turn off a sponsor message. SnapNDrag requires Mac OS 10.3 or higher and is universal.[Via FreeMacWare]
