Backdrop - A screenshot taker's helper
Authored by: starwxrwx on Mar 03, '05 09:56:33PM

if you just want a screenshot of a window(s), why bother with changing the background?

cmd+shift+4 will let you select an area to take a screenshot of.

am i missing something? if you are taking lots of full-screen screen caps for walk through help shots or something, surely its easier to change the desktop background and make a desktop cleanup folder for a little while...

It's not lost on me. I use that command all the time. It's very useful for sending a clip of a huge art file by email as a preview for a customer. I had been creating smaller files in Photoshop for example and today, just today!, I thought "Now why wouldn't a screen shot do just as well?" It'll save me lots of time.
