Blurry ass screenshot in OSX

I’m really at a loss as to why this is happening. Everything is blurry when I use the Mac shortcut to take a screenshot. If I do the same thing with Skitch I don’t have any issues. I’m going to try and duplicate this on other Macs around the office. Has anyone else ever had this problem before?

Are you using cmd+shift+3 or 4.. I don’t know if that makes a difference..

I don’t have that problem. That sucks.

Both and I can’t seem to get it to make a difference.

It’s probably skitch forcing you to use their tool.  No I don’t have that problem.  I use mine everyday a lot.

This happens to me as well, so you’re not alone. I don’t use Skitch. I primarily use cmd+shift+4 + space.
