There's a great little screen capture control panel available shareware
called Flash-it. You can crop an image on the screen before saving.
It'll even save to Canvas format. Lots of options.
I have to say -- This program/control panel has not been tested for
compatibility with anything by me or BDIS.
It can be downloaded from http://www.shareware.com

What is Flash-It?
Flash-It is a screen-capture utility for Apple Macintosh computers. It
is a combination of a system extension and a control panel. To install
Flash-It, copy it to inside the System Folder, and restart the system.
Flash-It then defines up to five screen-capture key combinations (from
now on we call them HotKeys). Each HotKey performs one of the following
functions:
* Capture a portion of (or the entire) monitor screen image to
the Clipboard, then
* Leave the captured image in the Clipboard and quit, or save it to a
PICT-based disk file, or to Scrapbook DA file, or send it to the
printer,
* Optionally scaling the image by a pre-specified factor,
* With an option to choose the destination of the image on the fly,
* And more.
Therefore, with Flash-It you can capture a screen image, paste it to a
document, save it in the Scrapbook or a separate disk file, and print it
very quickly. HotKey key combinations and their behaviors are
programmable from the Control Panel.
Besides these five HotKeys, Flash-It offers two more HotKeys for your
convenience: one is to send a PICT image which is presently stored in
the Clipboard to a disk file, Scrapbook or to the printer. The last
HotKey is to re-configure a limited selection of options of Flash-It
without invoking the control panel.
