What app takes a pic of the desktop?

I used to have an app that took a picture of whatever was on your desktop. What is it called? I think there was an explosion or a frog as the icon.

Or any other app that can take on this duty,

cmd + shift + 3

Grab comes with your Mac.

CMD+Shift+3 works great though...

Can use the built in screenshot shortcuts

Whole screen: cmd+shift+3
Selection: cmd+shift+4
Window: cmd+shift+4+spacebar

ok, maybe i'm a dumbass but i tried the selection thing with control, shift, 4 and it lets me scan around the image but how to i actually take the picture? where does it save it?

Drag a rectangle and let go. The pic will be on your desktop

It's saved as "Picture #.png" on your desktop.
