Mac Users

2. Use your mouse to draw a rectangle in order to specify what to capture – or press the spacebar and then click on something (e.g. a window) to capture it. 
3. Mac OS X then saves it as a file named like “Picture 1.png” on your desktop.

Now you can insert your image file into a document, presentation, or your blog!
