I was recently documenting some OS X laptop features using screen grabs (Command-Shift-3 for full-screen, Command-Shift-4 for regions). I noticed that when taking a full screen grab when I had a second display connected (in non-mirrored mode), the resulting PDF would be two pages -- each page held the grab from one screen. Very useful.

Capture multiple monitor screenshots
A good time to restate that if you only want to take a screenshot of a specific window, follow this instruction:
Capture multiple monitor screenshots
add the ctrl-button for two further nice options:
Capture multiple monitor screenshots
I am surprised there is not a method from the keyboard but it does appear that you can select the main monitor as it is noted in the CLI. And here is the simple script I came up with that provides some feedback and reminds of options for usage.
Capture multiple monitor screenshots
I note now there is erroneous info in my dialog on the script as it says use the 'shift' key and that should be 'space' key. Never noticed as I am the only one who has ever used it. Sorry about that.
RE: Capture multiple monitor screenshots
or you can simply use YellowMug Software excellent piece of freeware: SnapNDrag
http://www.yellowmug.com/snapndrag/ it allows for taking screenshots of windows, selection or screen, AND taking them as jpgs (of a quality of your choosing), pngs, or tiffs, AND you can rename the file on the fly, AND best of all, it doesn't pollute your desktop or documents folder with screenshots because it stores them in a floating window waiting to be dragged to whatever application you want. definitely one of the best pieces of freeware out there, and no i don't work for or have any vested interest in yellowmug :) |
