Screen shot.

Can anyone tell me how to get a screenshot of my desktop ?
I know it is easy on my Mac.
Any clue ?
Thanks.

hit the button named Print
Scrn
SysRq

then go into MS paint and hit ctrl-V and you should be all set.

I think he wants to know how to do it on his Mac...


...it should be something similar though.

not sure, but in linux import works nicely as does gimp

Assuming it is MS Windows there are two choices; either as loosbrew says you can press the printscreen button to take a snapshot of your current screen, or you can prees te combination of Alt & printscreen which will take a snapshot of the current application. As we are talking about your desktop what this will mean is the difference between a snapshoot of both desktop and taskbar (printscreen) or desktop only (Alt & printscreen).

Thank you all guys. I wanted to know how to do it on Win98.
Sorry for the confusion. My question is answered.

Just thought I should add this in....

If you want to capture just a "window" instead of the entire desktop...

Press: ALT + Print Screen

Thanx DocDoo !
