Please Help with Grab Application

Oh, man! It DID show up as an image! LOL OK, 'cause when I was replying, there was no image, just a string of characters.

I'm still not sure how you did that. Must I have a personal Web page and upload the screen shot before I can post the image in another window? Or can I just use Grab and save the image to my desktop and then image icon into the window? I don't think that will work...

You don't paste the screenshots here. You either upload them to MacOSX.com as attachments/thumbnails, or you host the images on your own server and link to them.

You cannot copy and paste an image into a window here.

Well, shoot ... my test didn't work.

I'm not interested in posting screen shots *here*. I'm just asking, in general. How do you do it with Grab?

Here's what I know so far:
1. Open Grab
2. Click Capture
3. Click on Window, Selection or Screen, etc.
4. Click on whatever it is that you want to take a picture of
5. Save As

OK, now what? I mean, how do you PASTE the image into another window when you've completed the steps above? I'm sorry if my question is confusing, I don't know how else to ask it. LOL

You gotta put the full path and filename between the [img] tags, like:

http://www.myserver.com/path/to/someimage.jpg

Paste where? You need to be specific: pasting an image into a browser window, like Safari, won't work... but pasting the image into a PhotoShop window will most likely work.

All windows are not the same, and there's a different procedure to getting images to show up depending on what application the window belongs to. To post an image in a forum like this, you usually use the [img] tags and link to the picture on your server (but it's not the same for all forums).

But I don't *have* a personal Web page. I usually just save the Grab images to my desktop. So do I just put: [img]desktop.grabimagetest.jpg[img]?

I seriously doubt that's the way to do it, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Can you please tell me how to post screen shots that are saved to my desktop. Please?
