Tips
Files from the screen-capture tool are saved to the desktop as PNG
files by default. This is not the best method and fills your desktop if not
managed. The easiest way to solve this is to make a screenshot folder,
which is outlined in Altering the Default Location of the Saved Files.
Advanced users with knowledge of the MAC OS X Lion Terminal
application can also use the "screen-capture" command to take a
screenshot from the command line.
An alternative but more long-winded method of taking screenshots is
available via Mac OS X Lion's Preview application. The screenshot
options appear on the "File" menu and match those available via the
keyboard shortcuts.

Warnings
Posting screenshots that include copyrighted information could have
legal implications, so be careful that you have the right to capture any of
the information visible on your screen.
When taking screenshots to pass on to other people, or to publish on
the Internet, ensure no personal or confidential information is captured
within the image.
