I need to capture some freehand region on my Mac desktop, but I can’t find such software. Anyone can help? Either freeware or shareware is Ok. By the way, don’t forget download site. T

    Built-in to Mac OS X is a simple screenshot key-combo: 

    Command-Shift-4

    (then draw a rectangle around the area to capture)

    there can be softwares, but you can also take normal screenshot and then crop free hand with something like photoshop or paint.
