Ever since I can remember, I've been using command-shift-3 or -4 to make
screen snapshots.

It doesn't seem to be described any longer in Tiger Help. It says to
use Grab. It's more cumbersome to open the application than to hit
three keys. Is it superior?

I use Grab regularly, with Tiger.

Grab has a slightly extended set of capabilities; is friendly and easy
to use; makes it a bit easier to bring screen grabs to the front and
deal with them after they're grabbed; and stays out of the way otherwise.

To make It and other similarly useful but infrequently used utilities
quicker and easier to get at, I use DragThing to create a hidden dock on
the left side of the screen and put utility apps like Grab, PDF Shrink
File Juicer, Addressix, EasyFin da templates folder,in it.

Have you actually tried using shift-cmd-4 in Tiger? Not to mention
comparing it with Grab?

Grab lets you get the contents of a single window, or select a portion
of the screen to capture.

Unfortunatly, Grab insists on saving the images as tiff, no options to
save as jpeg or other format. But you can "select all and copy" and then
use preview to create a new image form clipboard and then you can save
it in a number of image formats.
