If i use the spacebar commands the screenshot is clear (but full screen pics only), but the usual Apple/Shift/3 or my fav Apple/Shift/4 to select just won't take a clear pic. I'm on macbook pro with leopard. I’m getting coloured lines as well when i screenshot.

I know how to change the filetype with the Cmd-Shift-3/4 tools, but Grab is more robust and I’d love to be able to take PNGs with it. If you’ve got a good solution, help Chaz and me out in the comments. Otherwise I’m sticking with previously mentioned InstantShot, which has no shortcuts but does allow for a lot more filetype options. — Adam Pash [...] [...] While I’d love to help, this is one annoyance that I’ve never been able to figure out myself.

I have an "out of the box" Mac OS X 10.4.8. Googled for this issue and didn't find much help on it. Is there anything else you need to qualify? I.e. do you have to run 'sudo' for root access, or change any other settings?
