Taking a screen shot

Does anyone know how to take a screen shot of a website I am visiting and save it as a file (PDF, JPEG, whatever)?
Thank you,
PS

No worries PS... as always, a pleasure.
On the subject of screen shots etc, the following keyboard shortcuts may be useful to know:
1. Command(Apple)-Shift-3 - Take a picture of the screen
2. Command(Apple)-Shift-4 - Take a picture of the selection
3. *Command(Apple)-Shift-4, then press Control while selecting* - Take a picture of the screen, place in Clipboard
4. *Command(Apple)-Shift-4, then Spacebar* - Take a picture of the selected window

Taking a screen shot (shift apple 4)

This feature always worked fine until today when i tried it when ever i moved the mouse the picture target started flashing in and out, disappearing. This is not a major problem, but it is extremely annoying to use now. Anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

I believe I saw this on my other MBP. It's annoying but something I can live with. I think it has something to do with the 10.5.7 graphic part of the update.

Is there a way to save text msg to my mac without taking a screen shot?

Iphone 5 taking screen shots by only pressing on/off button

I know it's supposed to take screen shots if you hold down the home button and the on/off button together, but my phone is taking a screen shot every time I turn it off (i.e., without pressing the home button). Anyone seen this issue?

Maybe the home button is stick. Try
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Not Taking screen shots

Hi, i have a mac mini, and a third party keyboard. whenever i try to take a screenshot, nothing happens. the keyboard is connected to a hub. does anyone know what to do? i have tried to connect it directly to the mac, but it doesn't help.

If you open the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences, you can change the shortcut for taking a screen shot to whatever you like. If Windows-shift-3 wasn't working before, maybe you can just change it TO Windows-shift-3?

How do I take a screen shot on my mac?

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.

My macbook pro screen shot isn't saving the picture on the desktop.

Hi so today I wanted to save something I was looking up online by taking a screen shot. before I've taken screen shots using comman + shift + 3 or 4 and it would automatically save on my desktop but now it isn't doing that. but i still hear the shutter sound. i haven't changed any of the preferences or anything. how do i fix this? please help!

In Mac Help, there is this notation regarding screen shots:
Some applications, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of the screen.
What other applications there may be, I don't know. Maybe this applies to your lost screen shot?
The last thing to try is PREVIEW>FILE>NEW FROM CLIPBOARD.
This then exhausts my ammunition on this item.
Your post of Dec 12, 2011 3:33 AM seems to raise a new problem;
ALL my files are on this current account that doesn't take screen shots...and I don't know how to move everything from my documents, to my pictures in iPhoto and music in iTunes.
I suggest you repost this with more details, thus increasing you audience.
Ciao.

I zoomed in and out of pages, trying to get the right view to take a screen shot for facebook, and now my email homepage is HUGE when every other screen looks normal.

When I set the view to Zoom Font only, my email page looks normal, but facebook is off. I can't seem to get the settings back to where they were before I tried taking that screen shot. I have tried restarting the computer, but that doesn't help. Am I just screwed?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Imported Screen Shots are Blurry

Hello FCP users,
I am challenged and need some guidance. The projects that I create a little mini-movies/demos made up of mostly imported screen shots and some still photos -- never any video. My challenge is that I have a very clean screen shot to work with -- if I bring them up in Preview, Photoshop, etc. they look great. The second I import them into FCP they are blurry, degraded and next to unreadable. I seems like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to make a difference.
I am not the one taking the screen shots -- they are provided from a different source each time. Each person most likely uses a different product to grab those screen shots, but my guess is that they are probably using snag-it or a similar product. I usually ask them to provide the "best" quality they can. That can mean a ton of different sized screen shots come my way. The ones I'm working with now range in size -- 1,116x760, 1,284x1000, 1,026x813, 1,023x830 to name a few.
I have been on the boards and did try one recommendation that I saw to reduce the size of the image to the same frame size that you are working with (in my case 720x480). Of course, when I do this there is degradation before I even bring it into FCP.
So, I'm wondering, should I be asking people to create their screen shots at 720x480? I've been playing around in Parallels with Snag-it to see what options are available -- I don't see that they can choose to produce the screen shots at a certain size -- they can reduce them after they take it, but there's that degradation again. Maybe there is some recommended product that I can suggest? Everyone I work with to supply the screen shots would be a pc user.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I do these often, and my screen quality always looks poor. I'd like to come up with a solution and I'm sure a big part of that is instructing those who supply the screen shots to take them a certain way...perhaps with a certain product...only I don't know what that is.
Best practices anyone?
My settings are:
Frame Size: 720x480
Aspect Ratio: NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Thanks for your insights.

Pan & Scan: in this context, I was referring to the idea of panning across a screen shot instead of reducing it to the size of the video frame. In other words, the original is (e.g.) 2x the width or height and then, as you explain / narrate, it moves across the screen. This preserves the "local" resolution of the original, but doesn't give the viewer a single view of the whole screen. It can be used in conjunction with the "whole view" as a kind of CU shot.

How do I get rid of status bar for screen shots

How do I get rid of the status bar at the top of my iPhone 3G while taking screen shots? I'd like to publish the shots on the web and in a You Tube video.

It depends on what you are taking a screen shot of. For example, if you are watching a video and the controls (and status bar) are visible, you can tap the screen to remove them and take you screen shot.

Anti-Screen Shot?

While talking to a sales rep the other day about Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, he told me there is a way to edit a PDF, so when someone who is viewing it takes a screen shot of the PDF and pastes it into MS Paint, the picture shows the encrypted text, preventing for the user from taking a screen shot of the PDF.
Does anyone know how to write a JavaScript to do this? Thanks for any help!
~Bryan~

Bernd is correct. This cannot be done with Acrobat JavaScript.
Just as with your "expired document" code, you are overestimating what JavaScript can do. JavaScript in Acrobat is security restricted and has absolutely no access to system events such as pressing the "Print Screen" key for a screen shot (since that is an OS-level function and not an application-level function).
Also, just as with your "expired document" script, if the user disabled JavaScript in Acrobat (you can turn off JavaScript processing in the preferences) then your script would be useless and the user could take a screen shot.
I suggest you contact Acrobat Developer Support and ask them if you don't want to trust seasoned veterans like Bernd. Their job is specific to Acrobat JavaScript - next to the Acrobat developers, they are the experts, and they will tell you exactly what Bernd told you. They also have direct access to ask the developers if you need absolute confirmation.

How need to take screen shot of the screen using java.awt.Robot from javafx

1) I am displaying a Stage which is having an image and shapes in it and wanted to take the screen shot as and when i move the shape( which moves the stage ).
I am trying to java.awt.Robot, but i am getting headless exception. I used
@Override
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
// creating some images and shapes
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// update();
public void update() {
if (stg.isShowing()) {
ScreenCapture.capture(stg.getX() + 2, stg.getY() + 2, (int) boundsOfCircle.getBoundsInParent().getWidth(), (int) boundsOfCircle.getBoundsInParent().getHeight());
magnifierImageView.setImage(new Image(SCREEN_SHOT_FILE));
public static void capture(final double x, final double y, final int width, final int height) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("x ="+x +" y = "+y +" width "+width +" height ="+height);
Robot robot = new Robot();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("exception arised while taking the screen shot ");
e.printStackTrace();
The above code throws headless exception.
2) The second issues is have a image & i am dividing the image into different rows and cols( images of same size ). This is i am doing using awt. and i wanted to load those different images into
javafx images . I am facing the issues when i try to load the images into javafx.
