In doing some graphic work this afternoon on the MacBook, I realized that I do a lot of screen capturing in order to sample colors from certain web sites and online photographs.
On the PC, I accomplished this by hitting either the PRNSCRN (print screen) key, which copied the entire desktop to the clipboard for pasting into an image editor, or holding down ALT and then selecting PRNSCRN to capture the active window to the clipboard.
The Mac OS X equivalent of capturing an image of the desktop appears to be COMMAND-SHIFT-3. When performing this function, my MacBook even makes the token “ka-cheee” noise that cameras make (the ones with film, anyway ;) The screen capture is saved as a .png image file on the desktop to be used at will.
