This will turn your cursor
into a crosshair.

When you've selected
the area you want,
release your trackpad or mouse.
You can also press
the Escape key to cancel.

of a specific window.
To do this,
press Shift-Command-4.
Then, press the Space bar.

saved to your desktop.
If you'd like to save
a screenshot to your clipboard
