Print screen on a mac

[X_box_X]

Just wondering if it's possible to print a screen shot on a Mac laptop? And if it is possible, do I just have to hit command+v to paste it?

Cheers.

easy.
search for an app called "Grab" in spotlight. that does all your screenshot work for u..


theres also a keyboard shortcut

shift + control + command + 3 will copy the screenshot to your clipboard.

grab is easy though as u can save it straight to a file - or even opt to grab only a window or a selection or even a time delayed screenshot.

Seems like a lot of hard work!!
You could always spend half as much, get yourself an opposing OS and do it with one button

well no.

that one button would just put it to the clipboard, you then have to load paint, and paste it into there. then you have to crop to your desires.



with grab you just launch the app. select which option u want, and it grabs it straight to a file.

dont turn this into an OS debate. ive only been a mac user for about 7 months, was using PC's for about 15 years prior to that. havent looked back and wont be any time soon.

Basic Commands

 Shift 3 = Takes a picture of your entire desktop, saves it to the desktop, will be titled 'Picture 1'

 Shift 4 = Gives you some crosshairs, to select a certain area. Will again save to the desktop, as per before.

 Shift 4, then press Space = Select a window, within an app, the Finder etc, and that will be saved to the Desktop, again in the same format as earlier.

If you add control to any of the above commands, the picture will be saved to the clipboard rather than the desktop.

Hopr that helps.

Maybe when you can afford a mac, you'll quit being a whiney bitch about them...
