How to remove a shadow effect to the screenshot

I always liked the Mac screenshots with much more than with Windows. Of course, the whole thing in the shade, which surrounds them. However, if for some reason you do not like and want to remove it, it is easy to do with just a few commands in the terminal.

This shadow will appear in cases when you make a screenshot of the active window using the Command + Shift + 4 + Space Bar and click on the desired window.

How to remove the shadow effect

1. Open a terminal
2. Copy these two commands and run them in the terminal at a time

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

killall SystemUIServer

The first command deletes the shadow effect from screenshot and second reboot process to take effect.

How to add this effect back

If you change your mind, then return the shadow is as simple as it removed.

1. Open a terminal
2. Copy these two commands and run them in the terminal at a time

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

killall SystemUIServer

As with the removal of the shade, the first team returns it, and the second resets the background process. This advice does not affect other methods of taking screenshots, only the Command + Shift + 4 + Space Bar.
