Hello, I tried to do the search frist on the fourm, but only found things about other people's desktop pictures, questions about desktop stuff... but not the software that they use to do that. So if any of you can help me out... what's the best program out there to use to capture my screen?

Thanks

Use the application 'grab', which is in the utilities folder.

Or Command-Shift-3 (entire screen) or Command-Shift-4 (selection).
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

nobitacu: Yup the beauty of our Mac OSX is that it is already built-in.

As Macola explained.

And in case you want more power when capturing your screen (even record a movie of the action), take a look at Snapz Pro X.
