Hi all,

I am fairly new to the Mac.. Loving it so far.. One thing I would like to do is to be able to do a screen grab of what is currently on my mac screen.. can anyone enlighten me on a way to do this??

Thanks,
Mike M.

Option Shift 3?

Something like that. I know where to put my fingers just not what the keys are called. It might be Apple Shift 3. That sounds better. Also Apple Shift 4 will allow you to select the area you want to capture.

Edit: Apparently... I have... failed... *bamboo pole through the stomach*

CMD_SHIFT_3 - Whole Screen...
CMD_SHIFT_4 - Selected Area...

Cmd + Shift + 4 + Space Bar will switch the pointer crosshairs to a camera icon and allow you to image a selected window, or finder icon
