I won't pretend to have very many technology tips. In fact, I just learned how to turn on the right click button on my wireless Apple mouse...would that make it an iMouse, I dunno.
I decided to keep it REAL simple and share a new trick I learned last week! Many of us are very familiar with screen shots on a PC but I just figured out how easy it is to do on a MAC!
The finger-tip is Command + Shift + 4. A cross-hair will pop up and you can click and drag to select the area you want to capture. When you release the button the screen shot of the selected area will automatically be saved as a picture (PNG) to your desktop! No more screen shot, copy and paste to Word, crop, copy and paste to Publisher or Powerpoint, arrange and then copy and paste to Paint to save as a JPEG for this girl. Life just got a WHOLE lot simpler!
I can't wait to read everyone else's tech tips today...I need all the help I can get!
This is a great tip! I was wondering how to do this!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I am having to use a Mac for work. I am so not used to it yet!
