Gross - notice how mine was already cropped? Far superior. Furthermore osx will save the file as a much more useable .png file. That is a connoisseur file type...not a .bmp or .jpg or whatever winbloze uses.

Well, while I was doing it, my son showed me that I could easily "crop" or show only what I wanted to. Even do some editing to it with MS paint. I said.."naw, that's good nough"

Doubt I'll ever use it anyway. And if I need to I'll probably forget how.

Depends on whether you just want to crop it to the window itself. Alt-PrintScreen copies only the active window. (In Windoze, that is.)

The problem with Apple products? Apple won't let me run my own code on it. :yawn

There is that... but from my standpoint, it's irrelevant — the reason being that everything I do is web-based anyway. And if need be, I could do my PHP/mySQL development on my local drive, but I don't want to. It's far more useful to me to do the development on the server where the site resides. But you're right... Apple is not easily forthcoming with their KDI.

I have been using Tech Smith's Snag It for years, making training materials and all kinds of pic captures, a three key salute opens a capture session, and away you go.

Oh no...the Apple Snobs are invading. This was a good thread too.... ;-)

I've gotta go with AustinRealtor (is it real-ter or real-tore?)...In - N - Out burger is the cat's pantaloons. To quote Jules from Pulp Fiction "That is a tasty burger!". You guys know what they call a quarter-pounder with cheese in France?

USA1 don't let them get you down...Apple "just works"...until it doesn't anyways. Now 'scuse me, I think I left the iron on. :leaving

All Windows users should have irfanview, small, fast, does screen captures, crops and rescaling(shrinks the pics for emails), and its free.

Windows and Apple is a way to pay for something inferior that the rest of us get for free.
