Macbook Screen capture

This one puzzled me this morning, when I had to capture an image of a map, and had no idea how to do so on my MacBook! Thankfully there are loads of helpful hints available via Google. I got this one off My Journey to Macintosh:

“I knew that I could take a screenshot of the whole screen with Shift + Command + 3 and that I could grab a lasso with Shift + Command + 4 but I didn’t know how to just grab the contents of one window. Anyway, it turns out if you press Shift + Command + 4 and then hit Space, your cursor turns to a camera icon and you can grab just the contents of one window.”

As macnewbie states in the blog article, the image is saved to your Desktop for easy access.
