Screen Capture on a Mac

August 22nd, 2008 @ 5:24 pm PDT

Jim just showed me a bitchin’ cool Mac trick:

If you press Shift, the Apple (“command”) key, and the 4 key at the same time, it will change your mouse cursor into a targeting device. Then hit the space bar and your cursor will turn into a camera icon. Use the mouse to move the camera over any window and left-click. Bam! That will create a screen capture as a .png file on your desktop.

    Ever since I found Skitch, I care naught for the OS screen capture methods.

    Its crazy that a trick I learned in the 80s is making you so happy. I like the new theme. Change is good.

    Obama and Biden 50 Cent … ’08, it’s all about the change.
