Widget Watch: Capture
Here's a handy Dashboard widget that gives you some nice options for creating screen captures. Capture by VanillaSoap Design allows you to produce a screenshot, with or without the Dashboard visible, as a JPEG, TIFF, PNG, JP2, PICT, BMP, QTIF or PSD file. You can select your save location (including the clipboard), automatically resize your shot and more. Shoot the whole screen or just a selection.VanillaSoap as a few other decent widgets available, like a bittorrent widget called BitSticks and a few games like Snake and Solitaire. Check them out.

Been using this widget since the first day of Tiger, and it's the only one I always keep open. Great and easy way to get screengrabs, and the biggest positive to come from Dashboard so far.

I only started using it yesterday, but it's definitely handy.
Also, macTV posted a video tutorial for this widget yesterday: http://live.watchmactv.com/?p=42

I love this widget - i have used it for a while now
It was especially handy when each time i tried to remember what key combination i needed to take a screen shot of the selected area etc but instead just use the widget and no faffing around with google!

Your "Capture" link to this widget on Apple's site gets you an old version (0.7.5) but a newer one (0.7.9) can be found on Vanilla's site. This one allows you to capture to the clipboard, adjust compression settings and appears to solve a bug in full screen mode which meant that the disappearing widgets appeared superimposed on the captured image.
