Screen Capture with Shadow !? You Don't Like it ?

Using Mac OS X, you can press "command Shift 4" , then you can capture any area of your screen.

But it seems that the default setting make your capture have shadow.

If you don't like it , you can do the following:

Open "terminal"

Enter the following:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true

And then:

killall SystemUIServer

If you want to fall back , you can .....

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false

And then:

killall SystemUIServer
