    Is there a way to select a portion of the screen to make a screen capture like you can on a Mac? I tried Command + Shift + 4 like it works on a Mac but it doesn't.

    Thanks

    On an iPad? Why not just take the screen cap (home button + power button) and then crop the image in the Photos app?

    I could, just would be easier if I could skip a step...

    Nope. Probably an app somewhere, but that would be adding steps.

    isn't it the same number of steps?
    you either crop first (by making the selection) and then take the pic

    or you take the pic, and then crop.

    I agree with these guys. You cap the whole screen then crop it. It's the same amount of work as selecting an area of the screen then capping it.
