I use this constantly when taking screen shots or sections for posts on this site.
if you press command+shift+4 to activate the “crosshair” then press the spacebar, it will let you take a screen shot of the whole window. Very handy.

That’s awesome! I didn’t know that one. Thank you!

And if you press command+ctrl+shift+4 (or 3) you copy the taken picture and can paste it anywhere.
It’s cool if you don’t wanna waste your desktop.

I use this all the time but is there an easy way to change the format? My old mac use to make them .pdfs, my new mac makes .pngs. I want to make them pdfs again or are they equivalent anyway?

Moreover: press command+shift+4 to activate the “crosshair”, start to select and while holding the mouse down, you can use Option key to resize symmetrically your selection. OR, while holding the mouse down, you can use the spacebar to move your selection elsewhere.
Also, when your selection is done, instead of releasing the mouse to create an image on the desktop, you can press Control while selecting to place the selected image in the clipboard

you can also do command+shift+4 and then hit the space bar, you will see your mousecursor changes into a photocamera, now you can take pictures of only the window you click, included with shadows and round corners etc.

Yeah, but where are they stored? I can’t find them to SAVE myself.

I’ve learned several important things as a result of your post. I’d also like to say that there might be situation where you will get a loan and never need a cosigner such as a Federal Student Support Loan. But when you are getting credit through a traditional lender then you need to be ready to have a co-signer ready to allow you to. The lenders can base that decision on the few components but the most important will be your credit history. There are some lenders that will furthermore look at your job history and determine based on that but in most cases it will hinge on your rating.

I have realized that online education is getting preferred because obtaining your college degree online has turned into a popular alternative for many people. Many people have not had a chance to attend a regular college or university although seek the raised earning potential and career advancement that a Bachelor Degree provides. Still other folks might have a degree in one field but want to pursue anything they now have an interest in.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you need to publish more on this subject, it might not be a taboo matter but typically people do not talk about such topics. To the next! Many thanks!!
