Create interesting (abstract) graphics with iTunes Apps
Here's a simple hint on an easy way to create attractive abstract images for personal use (for the Desktop, Photoshop backgrounds, on iCards, etc.) with iTunes:
  1. Turn visual effects on in iTunes, preferably full screen
  2. Capture the entire screen with Command-Shift-3. The captured image is saved in PDF format on the desktop.
  3. Using Preview export the image to a known graphic format (e.g., JPG).
  4. Place the graphic in the desired application
[robg adds: Yes, this is a basic hint, but it can be a timesaver, especially if you're trying to generate some interesting patterns for backgrounds or textures. I was able to make a fairly interesting texture by applying a number of filters to a captured snippet of iTunes' visuals.]

Hmmm, cmd-shift-3 doesn't capture the screen for me anymore. Well, this install started as osx beta and updated to 10.2.4 Maybe it's time to reinstall

Think geek has a poster of iTunes screen captures. Same sort of thing.
