apple shift 3 captures the whole screen

apple shift 4 lets you draw a rectangle of the area you'd like to capture, such as my minigolf title :(

So what do I do after I draw the square?

just let go of the mouse. the capture will be on your desktop, named Picture 1.pdf (or 2, etc. if files exist). in Preview.app you can export this pdf in most formats you might want, File -> Export

speaking of which, why does my minigolf title keep on flitting in and out of existence? :D

side note for mac users: http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ is a great, free (for educational users at least) plugin for safari and other WebCore compatible browsers that lets you view pdfs inline
