irfanview is a 3rd party image viewer\editor but more robust than Paint. It's freeware( or donationware ?) but for windows only.
Here are some 3rd party apps for MAC

when i need to do a screen shot of something, i can generally get away with hitting the “print screen” key in windows.
MAC has similar capabilities and also works somewhat like windows snipping tool

Windows also provides a “Snipping tool” which allows me to capture whatever I frame, rather than the whole screen.
I then need to paste it somewhere to whack away at it. That's where Paint or irfanview come in. I open an instance of either then paste.
I save it as whatever - gif or jpg, or etc....
In order to post the image to Free Republic, (or any where else) I need to link to it from “somewhere” on the web.
I opened a free account here: https://imgbb.com
This allows me to upload my images to my https://imgbb.com account -free up to 16mb worth.
From my https://imgbb.com account, I can now post the image to Free Republic.
Hope this makes some semblance of sense and maybe answered your question
Yes....this helps! Thank you very much!
I was just about to ping you to something that needs a screenshot and posting. I will check out the links/apps you posted to me, but...in the meantime....do you think you can do a quick screen grab/post? If not, no worries.
Again...I VERY much appreciate the info/links and I now have homework to work on :-)
