Grab is in the Services menu too, but my sub-menu for it was grayed out 
until I found it in Utilities and used it once. For some reason, when I 
open and use Grab directly I can get screen shots even when it is still 
grayed out in the Services sub-menu. Not going to try to figure this 
out since I have a working solution. (-;

I've just put it onto the dock for quicker access (I take LOTS of 
screen shots for dumping into Keynote, training presentations, and 
printed instruction sheets). The TIFF quality is much better than the 
PDF exported to JPEG. And any versions of Photoshop I've tested open 
the TIFF just fine (4.x - 7.0)
