Look at the shortcut.

Press those keys with VMK open.

Send it to iPhoto.

Crop it to get it to look at VMK only, not the areas surrounding it.

It doesn't have to fill the whole VMK screen. In fact, that's not only for VMK! You can use it for VMKF and lots of other stuff!

Your image should look like this :

Agreed. Many of the reasons that I like Windows more. (not to mention I like Gateway computers better than Dell, but that's a different story.)

Same here. I would get a Gateway before considering a Dell. And I don't like either brand...

I like the Clipboard-paste utility in Photoshop Elements 4.0. One click, all done.

MS Paint you just cannot beat it in any way shape or form for simple image editing..

I would consider re-phrasing them words..

how do you get to the images? like I can see the print screen button but how do i get to the image? nothing comes up when i press it.

all u really have to do is hit control shift and 3 at the same time
and save it as a jpg. And PS owns paint.

control, shift, and 3 took me to a different internet tap i had open, it doesn't take a screen capture for me

It's command(the propeller/apple key), shift and 3.

That's to snapshot the whole screen - to get just part of the screen push command, shift and 4. You'll get a crosshair cursor, draw a box and let go.
Easy :xgrin:
Then edit with any paint type program. I use Photoshop.

I have a PC not a mac so I think thats why it might not be working on my computer ;)

Ah... Afraid I can't be of any help then.

PCs I know nothing about. :( Just Mac. I've got a G4 with not enough memory.

There's a WAY easier option than that, easier than opening paint on a PC.
Click Apple+Shift+4 and a cursor opens, similar to the one that you make a box with on paint. Drag it over the area you want to take a screenshot of, and poof! there it is on your desktop. Simple, no?

Also, as goblinguy said, you can press Apple+Shift+3, and it takes it of the entire screen.

I prefer a mac though. It just seems better than Windows once you get used to it.
