How do I take a screen grab?

How do I take a screen grab so that I can email it as a whole image?

I'm sure there is software out there to do this for people but you can do it simply by doing the following;
Tap the "Print Srcrn" key on your keyboard!
Then launch your fave foto editor app.
Then "Paste" and you'll have the whole screen image.
Save it to your hard drive for future use and cropping etc!
There are also some other options;
"Alt" and "Print Scrn" will give you just the active window on your screen.
This is a nice option for creating visual instructions with images!
And lastly;
If all you need is a photo from a web page you can Copy & Paste it directly into an email! Not all but most images on websites work!

    Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
    Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
    Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

  • How do I take a screen capture of a video in imovie

    I have an imovie project and I want to take a "screen shot" so I have a still picture. Any advice on how to get a reasonably clear, crisp jpg image from the movie?  thanks

    Thanks for the fast answer! Your tutorial was also excellent - I am also a Saturn V fan. I am a bit leery about installing the app; the general release version notes some quirks with Lion, and I may wait until the beta is GR. In the meantime, I used precision editor in iMovie, and "Grab" to do tiff screen shots, but your solution looks much better, I will check back with the streamclip site to see when the software is no longer beta.
    Thanks much!

  • How do I take the screen lock?, I mean for example when i want to turn it to see a picture from another distance

    HOW DO I TAKE THE LOCK FROM TURNING THE SCREEN AROUND?

    There are a few ways to get the screen to "enlarge", so it depends on what you are doing to make it happen.
    For example, on a trackpad you can double-tap (not click) with two fingers to zoom in web pages.  Or you can slide two fingers in a spreading out fashion to zoom in.
    Do you have any notion about what you are doing when the undesired enlarging occurs?

  • How do I take a Screen Capture using DVD Player?

    I shot a video of MY own family using MY own video camera, then made a movie using MY own Mac and burned it to MY own DVD-R disk. However, when I try to capture a frame of MY own movie using MY own Mac's DVD Player, it will not let me because the MPAA dictates to Apple.
    How can I get a screen capture from MY DVD, please?
    Thank you!

    What is the command for taking a screen shot on a mac?

    I use shift/applekey/4  (all at the same time)  then I get a little indicator on the screen and can copy as much of the screen as I want.  Somewhere I found where I could get it to go onto my screen as a jpeg--titled picture1-picture 2 or whatever.

    I can't get information in Spotlight or Help.

    I am incapable of remembering the key combos, so I downloaded the Screenshot Plus widget.
    It works very nicely.
