After reading Hermionez's article, Are You Picture Perfect?, I was deeply saddened that she had not told me how to take photos on my Mac. Except then I realized that I already knew how. Oh. :-)

On Mac OS X, your computer should come with an application called "Grab." Open it up, and then find the "Capture" menu bar. I like to use the "Selection" option. Choose "Selection" and then click and drag so you select the entire picture you want. Then you can copy this, or save it.

On Mac OS 9, press Command-Shift-4 and then click and drag around the selection of the screen you want. It will save what you have done to the hard drive, usually calling it something like "Picture 1," OR you can press Command-Shift-Caps Lock-4 and then click and drag around the selection of the screen you want. This will copy your selection to the clipboard.

Toodleloo!
