Image area capture (⌘⇧4 )saved to Photos works but hangs

After using ⌘⇧4 to select a section of the screen (specifically, an image) and then using "Share" icon to add the image to Photos, the dialog window freezes, i.e., any click anywhere in the window causes it to beep and flash, but nothing happens. The window can be moved, but that's about it; cannot close it.

Try the Escape (eSC) key to close it.


For resolving the the problem try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
