Since it isn't mentioned yet I thought it was worth mentioning that on mac capping can be done with some function using built in system

Command(aka apple key)-shift 3 Whole Screen
Command-shift-4 Screen selection (locks screen into still motion so you can take time.)
Command-shift-4 then hit spacebar instead of using selection tool. The screen reanimates and a tool is active that will automatically capture any open window and all of it's contents by point and click..

Further features will require Snapz Pro from Ambrosia SW, which is unlimited when it comes to capture. As it can do stills movies etc in any format in any place...Including audio capture from mic or system audio output grabbing...I've used this tool many times to convert proprietary formats to standards by capturing from a playing source and saving output file in desired conversion format. In fact this even works with DRM media like itunes videos but that's another story.

As for Windows, if there is no desire to use any third party software. Pressing the "print screen" key will suffice for a screen cap. Then open paint and choose to paste it. There is screen you captured. Then crop what you wanted from it and save outgoing to format you wish.
