How does one make screen captures with a shadow? How to do beautiful print screens, with shadows on the border, like this image?



Is the shadows automatic? A Mac tool? Do I need to manipulate the image in other programs like Adobe Photoshop?
No, you do not need to. This feature is built into Mac OS X.

To do this, press ⌘+Shift+4 then press Space. The selector will then change into a camera icon, and you can take a screenshot of the selected window with a shadow.
