General

Grab allows you to capture your screen or portions of it in four different ways

• Selection (Shift+⌘A) - A portion of your screen that you manually draw
• Window (Shift+⌘W) - A single window
• Screen (⌘Z) - Your entire screen
• Timed Screen (Shift+⌘Z)- Screenshot on a time delay

Files are saved to your Desktop in TIFF format. You can easily convert them to other formats using Preview.
