Screenshot walkthrough: capture, annotate, copy

ScreenshotMac utilitiesDuration

This 22-second walkthrough follows Screenshot in FavTray, a Mac menu bar app for developers, one step at a time. Capture an area, annotate it, and copy or save it from the overlay. ⌘⇧7 dims and freezes the screen, the width and height follow your drag, and eight handles adjust the area. You draw an arrow, a rectangle and a highlight, then Return closes the overlay, copies the image and adds it to Recent captures.
