Mac Tip of the Week: Taking a Screenshot
Taking a Screenshot
I find taking a screenshot a very useful way o putting forward a point and helping someone understand what the hell you are talking about, as you can see I use them a lot on this blog. And there are a couple (and by a couple I mean 3) of ways of doing this:
1: To take a screenshot of the whole screen they key combo is: command-shift-3
2: To take a grab of somewhere on you screen the combo is: command-shift 4
3:To take a picture of an apps window you press: command-shift-4-spacebar

-Thanks for the comment Mike!
