When you do print screen in Mac OS X, by default Mac will auto append window shadow in your print screen. Yes no doubt it looks nice but sometimes when there is only limited space to show the image in a presentation, then these window shadow is frustrating. Good news is that, Mac provide a way for you to disable this feature!

To disable print screen window shadow in Mac, follow the steps below:-

• Open your Terminal
• Copy and paste command below and hit ‘return’
  
  Shell

  defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true

  1	defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true

  
  * To enable the shadow again, change the true to false
  
  Shell

  killall SystemUIServer

  1	killall SystemUIServer

• From now on, print screen will not include the window shadow anymore
