It is easier to just copy the image from grab and use preview to open
from clipboard. This way, there is no need for GRAB to save a file on
disk and you having to delete it later on.

Or just to save a few folks the work, here are the most common image
capture commands:

cm=command; ct=control; s=shift

cm-s-3 image of Desktop to file
cm-s-4 sizeable/selectable image to file
cm-s-4, then space image of selected window to file
(escape cancels action)

cm-ct-s-3 image of Desktop to clipboard
cm-ct-s-4 sizeable/selectable image to clipboard
cm-ct-s-4, then space image of selected window to clipboard
(escape cancels action)
