thanks for the straight forward video. Usually tutorials don't go straight to the point and most talk for the first 5 min before starting the instructions. "Ain't nobody got time for that" Thank You!

You made this much easier to understand than others I've watched. I also like the fact that you showed the keyboard as you talked about it and then showed the result of your screenshot. Lots of step by step for those of us who are very technically challenged. THANKS!

Try: Shift+Command+5
(+ means 'then' in this case) An adjustable box will appear, you can even make an exact square. Hit RETURN and it will take a screen capture of whatever you place the box over. ESC key to exit. Shift+Command+5 again and the exact same sized box will show up. Perfect for what I'm doing, i.e. cookie cutting multiple photos to a uniform size <3
