Quick Question about Mac OSX + "grab"

Benmrx · 17th November 2006, 11:04 AM

First off, my apologies for such a lame post.....but,

I know in OSX there's a way to take a picture of what ever is currently on the screen. There are times when I'd like to take a picture of the Pro Tools screen and I can't seem to figure it out.

I could swear it's the "grab screen" command, in the services side bar, but it's always greyed out.

I figure it's gotta be a simple user error, but I can't seem to figure it out.

You can setup your own commands as well. I have apple+2 setup to take the whole screen to the desktop and holding apple+3 lets me draw a box to take to the desktop instead of the whole screen.
