How do I take screenshots? When I take one, is it of the whole screen (and then edited later) or can I take a shot of only a portion of the screen?

Wait, crap, this was supposed to go in social studies. Ah, well. My question still stands.

It takes a picture of the whole screen, you can easily crop out, or edit whatever unneccesary things

For a screenshot of an single Window you could press Alt + PrintScreen

The firefox screenshot ad on is very good.

Alright, that's all well and good, but what about on an iMac? Or maybe there's a Chrome screenshot add on?

Just google that shit also command shift 3

Command-Shift-3 dumps a picture of your whole screen to the desktop. Cmd-Shift-4 lets you select a portion of the screen.

Hold Ctrl when you click and it'll copy it to the clipboard instead of saving to the desktop. Hit Space after Cmd-Shift-4 and you can click to take a screenshot of a specific window.

On many keyboards there's a key marked "Print Screen SysRq" or something similar. Hit that and you should grab a screenshot. Usually this either opens a dialog box that'll ask what you want to do with it, else it just copies it to the clipboard and you have to paste it into some image-editing program. This method works in Windows and some Linux boxes, so if you have anything Linux lying around, the Windows method usually works the same.
