How to Make a Screen Shot to Save
Your Settings
Kim, Mike's visitor from L.A. who attended our first PVNB FCP SIG meeting 4-22-03.,
told me he liked the settings session as that had puzzled him and he'd been afraid
of screwing something up. I suggested he make a screen shot of a given settings
window before making any changes so he'd have a record of his previous settings.
Then, store all those screen shots in the same folder. Kim liked
that idea.
Steps to making a screen shot:
1) Command + Shift + 4
2) Cursor becomes circled cross hair
3) Position cursor over upper left corner of settings window
4) Press and drag cursor to lower right corner of settings window
5) Release cursor -- you will hear sound of camera clicking
OS X -- find screen shot as .pdf file on desktop
OS 9 -- double-click system hard drive icon, then find screen shot as .pict file
In either OS X or OS 9, file name will be a number -- so, single click the file
name to highlight it and a text box opens around the file name; change name to
indicate contents of screen shot for later easy reference.

of changing file name on OS X Desktop:
1) default name: "Picture
1.pdf":
2) single click the
file name to highlight it and make a text box open around it; here you can see
the text cursor resting between "1" and ".":
3) change name to indicate
settings window name, date and time that these were still the unchanged
settings:
