How do i take a snapshot with my iSight?

i would like to take a digital photo using my iSight, but i have not come up with how to do it. what programs can i use and how do i go about executing this?
thanks!

There's a nifty shortcut to take snapshot in iChat. Just hold down the Apple key and you can drag the picture out of the video window and drop it onto the Desktop or right into an email.

You can use the shortcuts Austin listed, or you can use the Grab screen shot utility that came with your Mac, or you can use the File / Take Screen Shot commands in Apple Preview.

How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

How do i take macro photographs with a 50 mm f1.8 prime lens

how do i take macro photographs with a 50 mm f1.8 prime lens, the lens is labelled macro, but only renders close ups.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A "true" macro lens allows you to get close enough to your subject that the size of the image on your sensor is as large as the subject in real life.
For example: Your sensor is "roughly" 14mm x 21mm. A US penny has a diameter of about 19mm. That means with a true "1:1" scale macro lens, you could get close enough to the penny that the top and bottom edges of the penny wont fit in the frame (the sides will.. just barely.)
There are a number of ways to do "close up" photography.
1) Buy a true "macro" lens. The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is fantastic and also fairly well priced. A "true" macro lens will provide the highest quality image.
2) Buy "extension tubes". These fit between the camera body and lens but they are hollow (there is no glass elements in them but they do have electronic contacts so the lens and body can still communicate.) By moving the lens farther from the focus plane, the entire focused range of the lens is substantially reduced. This allows you to get much closer than would otherwise be possibe.
3) Use "close up" diopters. These are screw-on filters which you thread onto the end of your lens. They provide a magnified/closer view of your subject. The downside of these is that they may show more distortion near the edges of teh image.
4) Use a "reversing" ring. This is a ring which allows you to mount your lens onto the camera body... backwards. The ring screws onto the front of the lens (where you'd normally screw on filters), but has bayonette mount on the other side so you can connect it to the camera body. By using the lens "backwards" you can get much clsoer. The downside is you cannot control the lens. Focus is manual and you can't change the aperture.

How do i take a picture with my built in webcam?

hey guys

it would also be nice if i wouldn't have to download another program to do this...
is there anyway i can take a picture and have it has somehting like a .jpeg?
thanks!

Also start up iChat (this shows in the DOCK)
It should let you click through the Start Up screens if you don't have a Screen name yet.
Click on the Buddy Pic it currently shows for you.
Select Edit pic.
Press the Take Video Snapshot
When you then select SET it will save this in
Users/(your Account)/Library/Images/Recent iChat Pics
Or you can go to the Video menu of iChat and Select TAke Snapshot and this will be saved to the DESKTOP but may need further work in a Graphics app to get just your head if that is what you are aiming at.

How do I take a picture with my MacBook computer?

How do I take a picture using my MacBook computer

You should have an program called Photo Booth in your Applications folder. Launch it, turn the MacBook towards what you want to take a picture of (using the screen as a viewfinder) and click on the camera button (or press command - T on your keyboard) to take the picture.
Best of luck.

How can I take a Snapshot via JavaScript?

I need to set up a button that takes a Snapshot.
Right now I have a button that arranges the view and then displays instructions for opening the Snapshot tool and single clicking the page.
However, if the user changes the view before taking the picture, key information is lost.
What JavaScript code would produce the same result as opening the 'Take a Snapshot' tool and single clicking the page?
That would be the ideal solution, but if there is another way, I'm open to suggestions.

Each form has a large amount of logic determining what options are available depending on what size, control, attachments, ect that have been selected further up the form.
The option categories and number of option categories are all different for different product groups. Different settings need to be specified by the customer if they have selected particular combinations of options. It would be hugly complicated to combine them all together. And it wouldn't be pretty or easy to navigate through hundreds of settings to see what applies to your product...
Maybe one day, when I have mastered creating PDFs. But even so, the file size would be larger and I would expect it to be slower + more random crashing. Trouble shooting or making any fundamental changes would be difficult.

How do I take screen shots with the new update iOS 5 on my iPad and iPhone?

When I try to take screen shots on both my iPad and iPhone they both come up with the screen to shut down the devices. I've updated both with iOS 5. Any clues on how to take a screen shot with iOS 5?

As with the previous iOS versions.
Press and hold the Home button and use the on/off or sleep/wake button as a camera shutter button for the screen shot.
Or while pressing and holding the on/off or sleep/wake button before the slide to power of appears, use the Home button as a camera shutter button - this must be done before the slide to power off appears.

How to take a picture with my mac bok pro???

Years ago I took pictures and selfies with my MacBook Pro. After spending a lot of time only using my phone to take pics I'm only trying now to take one simple pic of my dog on the other side of my computer screen tonight. Now I can't seem to find out how to do this. The i-Photo at the bottom of the screen only shows me old photos and asks for locations. No. I try to look for help on my Mac to no avail. THE REST OF MY MICROSOFT FRIENDLY FAMILY ARE AMUSED. The 'support' is horrible, I find out through YAHOO - not Apple or my computer - that I need to go through Photo Booth. I remember seeing that years ago. Why is there no photo booth icon at the bottom of my screen??? When did it change to i-Photo, and why aren't the two integrated?? Why do I have to find answers through yahoo? I managed to get photo booth up for a while on my mac book, but seriously, I can't be doing this all the time, now it's gone again and still I have no pic of my dog hating the back of my screen. And I can't find it again! The question is still: How do I take a photo with my mac book? Please DO NOT refer me to a link. NOT LOOKING FOR AN AUTOMATED ANSWER. Also, some additional feedback, Siri is really inferior compared to OK Google in providing directions, answering general questions (understanding voice questions and providing answers) and making voice command calls. I will not be buying an Apple watch for now. I need to see a lot of other improvements, even only how to ask questions about existing products and features and get snappy answers, before I invest in a new Apple product. Disappointed, I always rooted for Apple.

Feel all better now?
1. The Photo Booth.app is located in the Applications directory of Macintosh HD on Mac OS X systems. But some Microsoft Friendly Family conspirator might have changed the name of the internal storage device, removed the Photo Booth.app icon from the Dock, or possibly deleted the app.
2. Photo Booth.app never DID change to iPhoto.app, or Photos.app. It always was and still is Photo Booth.app.
3. iPhoto and Photos (introduced in Yosemite 10.10.3) are separate programs primarily designed for organizing and editing digital photos, and cannot take selfies.
Once you 'snap' an image with Photo Booth, the images are displayed in the 'film roll' that appears at the bottom of the Photo Booth application after you snap the first image. Clicking on an image in that film roll will select it. Control+clicking offers the option to export or delete the image. Once an image is selected with a single click, click the "upload" icon beneath the film roll to see the options available.
(Yosemite 10.10.2 version illustrated below. Screen transparency means that the background image colors bleed through the menus illustrated below.)
4. There is a fast way to find and start the application called Photo Booth.app.
Click on the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your computer screen to search your computer for Photo Booth.app. Yes, there is a space between the words Photo and Booth. Press the enter/return key to open the application which will also enable the user-facing camera and illuminate a green LED.
Click the red button to initiate a 3-step countdown and a simulated flash of the screen to provide more light.
5. Once Photo Booth.app is open and running, 'right click' (if the Secondary click feature of your mouse or trackpad has been enabled in , System Preferences) on the Photo Booth program icon in the bottom 'Dock' of your screen, and select Options, Keep In Dock. That will keep the Photo Booth icon in the bottom program dock for fast future use.
