| Either the PrintScreen (PrtSc) button or Control + PrintScreen. Then open a new document in Photoshop and paste. |

On a Mac, use CMD-SHIFT-3
Also, for both Mac and PC, there are utilities which will let you exercise great control over the capture, such as capturing only the active window, or of giving you a crop tool to mark out a specific area to capture; they may also let you specify where and in what format to save the results.
Check at Download.com if you're interested in one of those -- they're definitely worth it if you are writing a manual or something. |

On a Windows machine, have the screen you want the capture to be of be the active window (blue on top). Hold down the ALT key and hit print screen. Captures just the active window. |

for a specific part of the screen, you could use CMD-SHIFT-4. make a selection of the part you want et voila :D you'll get a .png-file, but there's a way to change that into .jpg
if you'd like I could check where to change? |

| I use an awesome bit of freeware called MWSnap as it allows you just to capture bits of the screen. Just search for it on Google. |

| WinSnap is an excellent piece of freeware to replace Windows' built-in screen capture. |
