If you're taking many screenshots at one time, do this:

Windows, always doing it the painful way. On the Mac:

Command-Shift-3: Screen shot is saved to a PNG on your desktop

Command-Shift-4: You get a crosshairs showing screen coordinates. Drag what you want captured and it becomes a PNG on your desktop.

Spacebar after previous: Toggles between crosshairs and a camera cursor with which any window you click on (even if it's not in the foreground) becomes a PNG on your desktop.

Adding Control to those puts it in the clipboard instead.

I KNOW that!

I was explaining an easier method for any PC users who might be reading this thread, which the author of the article wasn’t aware of. I’m not defending PCs against Macs.
