I had "whole page" in my head, so it never occurred to me to mention that you can cull the PDF if you don't need the whole thing.

A lot of back and forth, but you're now set for all possible futures.

You're correct, Ira. What you missed was my post in which I told Rita to forget what I'd said about your command (because I'd realized that it wasn't exclusively for movies.)

In Catalina, though, I don't see any editing options...just pngs that appears on my desktop, so command-shift-3 & 4, which require only one action, are best if all you want is a screenshot.

In the interest of clarity (and I am running Catalina too), when the screen shot appears in the lower right corner of the screen (as I described above), if you click on the shot then and there it opens in an editing window.

That wasn't lost on me, but I don't see the screenshot in my lower right hand corner (although I think I may have in Big Sur); I click on "Capture," and I immediately see the PNG on my desktop.

Am I missing something?

When you invoke the screenshot pallet as above, under "Options" choose "Show Floating Thumbnail".

Apparently I selected this so long ago that by now I thought it was a default mode. Apparently not. smirk

Got it. Thanks.

Being keyboard-centric, I don't like the fact that editing can't be accomplished with keyboard commands as it can with Preview, but it's a useful alternative to keep in mind, particularly for movies.
