Is there a way to take a snapshot on a PC the way you can on a Mac? I know on a Mac you can do apple+alt+shift+4 and then the cursor turns into this camera lens thing and then you can highlight whatever you want on the page and take a snapshot of it. I realize that I can do print screen on the PC and then edit the picture in Photoshop or something, but I want to know if there is an easy way to do it like on the Mac. Or is there no way to turn the cursor into a camera lens on a PC?

For PC users in any desktop window just hit the button Print Screen, then open paint and press ctrl+v or edit paste.... :p

Right, I knew that way already. I was wondering if there was a way similar to the way you do it with a Mac. Thanks though. :tu:

You can also do ALT+Print Screen to just snapshot the current window. If you want something to mimic the way the mac does it, there are dozens of programs you can download that can do it. Here are a few: http://www.tucows.com/scapt95_default.html ;)

So I'm sorry I don't know anything other than the alt+print screen as people have said. But if someone knows besides a program (thanks for that link) please post.

Oh and Firepixie, your avatar kicks ass. Psylocke rules!
