Here are two different ways to easily take screenshots in Mac OS X Lion.
1. Open the Preview application.
2. Go to the File menu and then select Take Screenshot.
3. You get three options to choose from:
Selection
Window
Entire Screen
If you prefer you can simply use keyboard shortcuts to take the screenshots and skip Preview altogether. This is the way I prefer to do it.
Here are your keyboard shortcuts to take screenshots on Mac OS X Lion:
Command-Shift-3
Lets you take a screenshot of the entire desktop.
Command-Shift-4
Lets you select an area of the screen to capture.
Command-Shift-4 then Space
Lets you capture a window.
Command-Control-Shift-3
You can take a screenshot of the entire screen and save it to your clipboard to be pasted in elsewhere.
Command-Control-Shift-4
You can capture an area of the screen to the clipboard.
Command-Control-Shift-4 then Space
You can capture a window and save it to the clipboard.
