Taking Screenshots with Preview

I have previously covered taking screenshots using keyboard shortcuts, from terminal, and Snagit for Mac. I recently found another way using Preview that I was not aware.  Not only that, but you can also annotate.

With Preview open, you can take a screenshot by clicking on File > Take Screen Shot and then choosing one of From Selection, From Window or From Entire Screen.  I took the above screenshot using the From Entire Screen option.  Then using Preview, I cropped what I wanted to show.  As I mentioned you can also annotate the image, and then save it in a file format of your choice.
