TRANSCRIPT:

In this episode, How To Take a Screenshot without Border Shadow in OS X

Straight to a demo…Soooooo, Let's Get Started

Normally when pressing the following keystrokes, Shift-Command-4-Spacebar and after clicking the camera icon to capture a menu or window, you are left with screenshot that has a border shadow around it.

This looks fine when inserting  the screenshots on a webpage, Pages Document or Keynote Presentation with a white background.

However; when displaying the screenshots just taken on a colored background, as shown here, well…in my opinion, it looks pretty ugly.

If you don’t want a border shadow around a menu or window, then; after pressing the Shift-Command-4-Spacebar keystrokes, hold down the Option key while clicking the camera icon.

As you will notice, when dragging the screenshots taken into a Keynote presentation, there is no border shadow.

And that’s all there is to it.
