Love it!
Indispensible!
Failed me once only (yesterday) when it refused to capture the full colour depth of a Tux Paint window. [Selecting an area bypassed the problem]
If I ever could remember the following I'd never use it again:
⌘-Shift-3 to take a picture of the whole screen
⌘-Shift-4 then drag to select the area you want in the picture of part of the screen.
I like it, but where is the simplicity of hitting prtsc then pasting it somewhere? all this for a screenshot lol
9 years ago, when I supported NeXTSTEP, I used Grab every day. Now that I'm using my new iMAC, I am using Grab nearly every day. Steve made and still makes excellent applications. It this case, an application was re-incarnated. Cool stuff.
