Hi, Akki! In MacOS X, you may do the following:
1. Use the system-wide keyboard shortcuts for taking screenshots into the Clipboard: Control + Shift + Command + 3 ----> a shot from the entire screen Control + Shift + Command + 4 ----> a shot from a selection of the screen Control + Shift + Command + 4 and then press SPACEBAR ----> a shot from only one window By the way, if you use these commands without pressing the CONTROL key, the images are stored in a file, not the clipboard. 2. In GIMP, use File > Acquire > From Clipboard Have fun!
