How Do You "Take Pictures" of Your Screen, again? =X (A)

[elyzia]

First of all, on a pretty irrevent note, I just want to say that even though I have my own guild with 8,500+ members, I'd never even think of going anywhere but the NSTG when I have questions that I need answered, fast. This subforum rocks my pixelated socks blaugh

Anyway, so I'm trying to do an invo sale in the Gaia Exchange, when I realized that I totally cannot remember how to take pictures of the screen I have open so I can paste them into paint & edit them to show my inventory. Hopefully I'm making at least some sense, I can't find a good way to express what I'm asking. I know it involves the "F11 Prnt Scrn" button, but whenever I press that, it just makes the screen I have open act all weird.

Help, anyone? =X

You want to hit Alt + PrintScrn 3nodding

(And I'm glad you like the guild :B)

If you have a PC, press the PrntScrn button. This copies it to the clipboard. Open any art program such as MS Paint and press Cntrl-V to paste. Your screenshot should appear.

Yeah i was wondering how to do that too but now I get it! So if we have a pc/windows computer we press printscreenSysRq button then open up paint and copy and paste the screen shot? Well thanks for the tip!

How to Print Screen to a file on the desktop in Mac OS X

The basic functionality of taking a screen capture of a window or desktop in Mac OS X takes an image and dumps it to a file on the Mac desktop. Each uses the pressing of Command and Shift keys concurrently as the basis for execution, followed by a number:

• Command+Shift+3: takes a screenshot of the full screen (or screens if multiple monitors), and save it as a file to the desktop
  
• Command+Shift+4: brings up a selection box so you can specify an area to take a screenshot of, then save it as a file to the desktop
  
• Command+Shift+4, then spacebar, then click a window: takes a screenshot of a window only and saves it as a file to the desktop

That site also says how you can make a copy just to the clip board so you can paste it in a document.

Hope this helps!

If you have an older computer, you may have to push the fn key at the same time you push the print screen key.
