Screenshot and Image posting guide

Thank you so much for the Mac info.
In all the years of using a Mac, I never had to have a two button mouse until I started playing POTC.
Oh, the right click button of course!
Awesome.
Oh and I discovered that it wont take a screenshot unless you are on FULLSCREEN play.
Thanks and
All Hail Mac Wizards

You can take a screenshot even if you are not in full screen mode, you just have to take a different approach to it. Pressing command+shift+3 will take your basic screenshot of EVERYTHING on your screen. For POTCO, it doesn't give you a great picture (simply because your dock etc will also be shown) but this is still the screenshot I most often use. It'll give you a pic like this...



However, there are a couple more ways to take a screenshot in windowed mode too. Command+shift+4 will let you select an area to take a shot of. For example, I took this picture using command+shift+4.... (no cropping has been done)



There's another way (probably the best way for POTCO but a little more complicated so I don't really use it. Do command+shift+4 and then press space and then click a window, and it will take a picture of only that window. The result...


I hope this helps a little, but if you already knew all this... then I guess I'm sorry I wasted 2 minutes of your life. lol

EDIT: All of these methods save the screenshots directly to your desktop, as shown.
