Inner Pollack: Part 2

How to save your painting:
  1. Whether you're using a Mac or PC, take a screenshot of your masterpiece. If you're using a PC, there's a print screen button which should place the image in your clipboard.
  2. If you're on a Mac:
    Cmd-Shift-3 Take snapshot of the whole screen
    Cmd-Shift-4 Take snapshot of the selected area
    Cmd-Shift-4-Spacebar Take picture of a window
  3. Open your image editing program, i.e., Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
  4. Open a new document window. It will automatically size itself based on the contents of your clipboard.
  5. Select Edit > Paste to paste the artwork into the document. If you took a shot of the entire screen, just crop down to the actual artwork.
  6. Save your document.
That should do it!
