Once the timer runs out, the screen is captured and launched instantly into Preview. The timed screen shot feature was previously limited to the Terminal or Grab, but it’s pretty handy to have directly in Preview, with the countdown timer showing up in the center of the screen like so: All of this is instant with the exception of capturing the entire screen, which causes a timer to be displayed

The screen shots launch automatically into Preview where they can be cropped, manipulated, and saved.

From Entire Screen – capture the entire screen (or both screens if you’re using two), same as command+shift+3.

From Window – enables the window selection tool, like command+shift+4+spacebar.

From Selection – brings up the selection tool, just like command+shift+4.

From the “File” menu select “Take Screen Shot” and choose one of three options:.

Font: Here you can change fonts, size, font color, text layout, and apply bold, italic or underline.

Change colors: Change the color of any shape content using this tool.

Border colors: Change the color of any shape borders you might have applied using this tool.

Line: Change line thicknesses applied using Preview’s tools here.

Adjust Color includes adjustment sliders for exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, color temperature, tint, sepia, and sharpness. If working with images the Adjust Color tool is available in this position.

Note or Adjust Color: When working with PDFs a tool that lets you add notes to documents appears here.

Sign: This tool lets you sign documents if possible in the document you are using.

You can edit font, size, and color using the Text Style tool to the right of this tier of the toolbar. Text: Tap this box to enter text, then drag the text to where you want it to be.This is force sensitive and lets you draw thicker shapes in reaction to the pressure of your touch. On Macs with a Force Touch touchpad, a second Draw tool appears.

If Preview recognizes a shape you draw it will choose that instead. There is also a Loupe tool which you can use to magnify an area of your image, just drag the green handle to decrease or the blue handle to increase magnification.

Shape Tools: You can add rectangles, stars, and other shapes.

Press delete to make this part of the image transparent or tap Command+C to copy your selection, making it available in Clipboard. The more you drag the cursor the more of the image will be highlighted in red to show you have selected it. Just click the area you want to select and drag your cursor.

Instant Alpha: For some image types you can use this tool to automatically select the background or other objects within an image.
