- ----- Capturing Photos
From A Web Page ----- - Method a: Most photos, you can just drag from the web browser to the desktop.
- Method b: In Safari, you can use the 'Apple+option+A' command to display all images for a particular web page.
(From the menu, it's 'Window' -> 'Activity'.)
----- Screen Captures ----- - Method c: Apple's built-in 'Shift+apple+4' command allows you to capture any part of the screen to a '.png' file. (Using the Control key sends it to the clipboard instead of a file.) More details on the Cpamu Screen Capture page. However it doesn't seem to work when using the DVD player.
There are images showing this on the Original Screen Captures page. - Method d: Apple's built-in 'Grab' utility seems to work similarly to the screen capture function, except it saves the capture to a .tiff file.
- Method e: Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X (approx $30 for non-video version, $69 for full-version that captures moving video). The cheaper version will capture still shots from a paused DVD player.
