Remove drop shadow from "window" screen shot

Is there some code I can input in the terminal window to remove the drop shadow from a screen picture of a window (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar)?
I know I can use ⌘-Shift-4 and use the cross hairs and that gives me a picture with a clean edge (no drop shadow), but I have dozens of screen pictures to take of a website in safari and I need every shot to be the same size; the (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar) mode guarantees every pic will be the same.

Download the free utility [TinkerTool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html], and click the General tab.
At least in my Snow Leopard system, there is a checkbox there for "Include shadow when capturing window." If you also see this, uncheck the box and then log out and log back in.

  • How do I remove drop shadows from the default text in the labels of a Numbers pie chart?

    I set up a pie chart in Numbers and set labels for percentage.  The default text has drop shadowss.  They do print well at the scale needed for the page.  I cannot find out how to remove these shadows for clearer printing.  Can the shadows be removed?

    Nevermind.  Found the answer in nthe side bar under "Re:how can I print the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow.  I had the Font window set too narrow and it did not show the Text Shadow button in the tool bar.  Unclicking that worked.

  • Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images

    Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images?
    I saw it somewhere on some site ages ago
    (I like to align images together and take another screen grab without the darn shadow and without opening another app)

    I found this:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true && killall SystemUIServer
    but this soesn't seem to work
    and this
    To get rid of the shadow and only capture the window, enter this line of code in Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
    Then to implement the change, enter:
    killall SystemUIServer
    To revert the modification and restore shadows, enter:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
    doesn't work either in Mountain Lion

  • How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

    How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

    As far as I know, you must use brute force in the index.xml file describing the document.
    Search the descriptor of your values labels
    It starts with : <sf:SFCBarSeriesValueParagraphStyleProperty>
    and delete the three items describing the shadow.
    I highlighted it with red.

  • How to remove a shadow from a photo in iPhoto

    How do I remove a shadow from part of a photo using the editing tools in iPhoto?

    In a word, you don't. That's a compositing job and you need a photo editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Drag and drop utility from windows to SAP..

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I need some piece of advices from you guys related to this. I am working a an IS Insurance solution of SAP. We have a real bottleneck in the project. The client is basically using a thrid party legacy system developed on .NET platform. They have the functionality where they just "drag and drop" the documents like excel sheet or word diocument or pdf file and store it with particular insurance policy number.
    I am sure there might be some solution like that in SD , MM, PP module where they will be doing similar kind of stuff. Storing the documents related to purchase order or invoice.
    Now I would like to know if there is any third party tool for dragging and dropping documents from windows desktop to SAP system like I explained above.
    I would like to get some information on this ?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Rajesh.

    If on SAP , then what ?
    If on Application server , then what ?

  • Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5

    I have a series of curriculum books that make use of two different page styles controlled by two masters. On occasion in the books, the two masters appear side by side in a spread. Both masters contain similar background graphics but one has more side margin than the other.  In the instance where the side margin appears on the left hand page, the drop shadow from a background element on the full page master appears on the bigger margin page. The actual object that has the shadow is not there, but the shadow is. This only happens when the margin is on the left; the shadow does not appear when the masters are side by side in a spread and the wide margin is on the right.  See attached image.
    I can split the pages apart and the shadow goes away, but this gets to be a pain when text reflows and I have to change the pages around.  Any idea how I can keep this ghosted effect from appearing where it isn't supposed to be?
    I'm on CS5 on an Intel Mac running Leopard.
    Thanks.

    Lots of cross posting...
    Check the position of the edge of the cropped frame. I had a problem when it wasn't dead on the spine and the frame had the shadow applied...
    Further investigation pasting the shadowed frame into another and cropping that reproduces your error, but good news, I think. If you select the cropped frame and pick a proxy point that is supposed to be on the spine, then subtract an infinitesimal amount, like .0001 from the x coordinate to move it left, or add the same if you need to move the right half right, ID will round the result back to the original dimension, but the ghost will disappear.
    At least it seems to work for me on two-page lettersize spreads working with rulers in inches.
    I think this is a bug, and I think we've discussed it before and I stumbled on the same solution last time.

  • What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

    What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
    Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
    Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
    Thanks.

    One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
    Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
    You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

  • Cannot Remove Drop Shadows for Icon Labels on Windows 8.1 Desktop

    I have a new Dell Laptop with Windows 8.1 and a touch screen.  The Icon labels on the Desktop have black shadows on white text. I have searched for answers and have tried the following, none of which worked.  Is there anything else I can try?
    Removed the checkmark by "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" under System Properties, Advanced, Performance Options, Visual Effects tab, clicked on Apply, rebooted.  Verfied that the ListViewShadow DWORD value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
    is set to 0 (zero).
    Made sure that the "Show my desktop background on Start" on the Taskbar and Navigation properties Navigation tab is unchecked.

    Hi,
    Have you restarted the computer before checking the results?
    Also, I suggest you configure this registry key since HKEY_CURRENT_USER is just a mapped one of current user:
    HKU\S-1-5-21-************\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ListviewShadow
    Note: Find your user GUID under HKU.

  • Drop Shadow for Windows Splash Screen

    Hi,
    I need to create a splash screen for a client who is a Windows software developer.
    I'm working on a Mac with Photoshop CS3.
    It's simple enough given that I just have to create a 320x240 image and send it over to them.
    However what I'd like to do is add a drop shadow to the graphic which shows up with transparency when the splash screen appears on the Windows desktop.
    Any clues?
    Thanks.

    With what technology is the developer working? . . . Pass.
    What file formats can they accept? . . . I'll give PNG24 a go on a dummy graphic and ask them to try it.
    Thanks.
    Bob.

  • Is there a pref to turn off border/shadow in window screen capture?

    Somewhere along the line, Apple changed screen capture of a window (cmd-shift-4 and then spacebar) so that now you get a white border and drop shadow around the window in the screen capture file. This is very pretty, but for the purposes of posting captures on websites, for example, the original 'just the window' capture is really much more useful. Is there a *defaults write com.apple.screencapture* (or something) preference that can be changed to set the border/shadow to off?
    - padmavyuha

    Yes, annoying isn't it? I got mine changed using this command in Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
    You then need to log out and back in. This fix is courtesy of "atverd" at MacOSXHints. Bless him, and Rob Griffiths.

  • I hate that with ios 7 my bookmarks show up on the safari home screen. Is there a way to remove the icons from the screen without deleting my bookmarks completely?

    I have recently updated to ios 7. On my safari home screen there are my favorites listed. I absolutely hate it. Is there anyway to remove the bookmarks from the safari home screen without deleting my bookmarks completely? I am resisting the urge to throw the whole **** thing away and buy another tablet. Please help me! I usually love the updates but I feel ios 7 is more than I can bare. If I wanted Window's crappy format I would have bought a Microsoft product!

    On your safaris home screen is a square icons consisting of your favorites and the IOS 7 favorites ( Disney,Apple,Yahoo,Etc) and I knew I wouldn't use these so I wanted to learn how to delete them. So, after messing around a few times with them, I realized how easy it was to delete them. All you have to do is go to the top right corner of your homepage and click on the book icon (found left of the cloud icon). Once you click on it, your history for safaris searches should come up. On the top left corner above your history should be " <Bookmarks " written in blue. Click on that and a list consisting of these should come up ( top to bottom of list ) FAVORITES / HISTORY / GOOGLE /BING / IPAD USER GUIDE. Click on FAVORITES. Your list on the favorites on your home screen should come up. Simply slide over the item to your left (EX.. Yahoo) and a DELETE button in red should come up. Click delete and your done, the icons should disappear on your home screen. Only bad is that you have to delete them from your favorites too.
