Use the application Apple bundle called 'Grab'. Located in Applications -> Utilities.

Run the programme, select what you want it to capture then click that window / screen to take the picture. You then need to hit File -> save to actually save the file and you can pick a filename and location for it to save to. It will then save it as a tif wherever you tell it.

I just use 'Grab' or 'SnapnDrag' for mine.
I think Grab is standard - type it into Spotlight or look in the Applications or Utilities folder...
