On a Winblows machine, I used to be able to hit the Print Screen key and then be able to paste a snapshot of my screen into any photo editing program. How can I do that in Tiger? Thanks.

Print Screen/Take A Screenshot Key?

There's a few different shortcuts:
Command-Shift-3: Take screenshot of screen and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then drag mouse over an area: Take screenshot of part of the screen and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
Hold down control during any of the above and it will put the screenshot in the clipboard instead of a file.

If you're using Jaguar or Tiger (not Panther oddly) you can also use Grab for screenshots. It's in the Utilities folder inside of the Applications folder.
I haven't used Panther since Tiger came out, but I'm pretty sure grab was included in Panther too.iindigo said:

It wasn't present on any of my Panther installations except ones upgrading from Jaguar - that's probably what this guy did.
I switched with Panther (never used Jaguar or any version of Mac OS X before Panther), and Grab was most definitely included in Panther. In fact, I've still got a machine (the PM G5 in my sig) that has a factory install of Panther on it, and it's got Grab.
