GGetting a clean photo of a image on my CPU monitor

I need to photoggraph some web site pages for use in a magazine. I keep getting a moire pattern using an Apple cinema dispaly at 1400 x 1000 pixels. I have tgried othyer settings. Can you hgelp me get a clean shot that can be printed at 300dpi from my EOS 20D? ThANK YOU.

why not just take a screen capture?

plenty of software that will show you whats on the screen without having to photograph it

Without resizing, your 1400 x 1000 screen shot will print 4 2/3 x 3 1/3 inches. How big do you want to print it?

As for how to do a screen capture, it would help to know if you're using a PC or a Mac.

Do a screen capture rather than try to photograph a display screen with a camera. You'll probably get a far better image, as you won't have to worry about synchronizing the shutter speed to the refresh rate of the monitor or any such games.

Edit - several of us had the same idea at about the same time it seems.....

Thanks so far for your help. I use a Mac G5. I can go to higher resolution and need to get a 5 x 7 print. Is there anything I can further do to improve the display settings for the image capture? Is Photoshop the sofgtware with info on tyransferring the screen shot to hi res photo output, or do I need something else on a Mac platform? Naturally I am shootingg RAW files.

Forget the camera. Just use whatever software you need on the Mac to capture an image of what's on the screen and turn that into a photo file. Since the print will be smaller than the actual screen, the resolution and sharpness will look better on the print than on the screen.

With a PC, you can capture a whole screen image by pressing ALT and Prnt Screen buttons simultaneously. This produces a "clipboard" capture that can be pasted into most software that can use graphics - Microsoft Word being one example of many. The image in Word can then be pushed around to get the final desired size, then you can print it.

I have never tried pasting such an image into Photoshop, but I'd bet it can be done there and then saved to any standard image file type.

Edit... I just did the print-screen thing and pasted it into a "new" image in Photoshop. It produced a 1024x768 image (that would be whatever your screen resolution is) that could then be saved as whatever file type you wanted.

I am grateful for your advise. Thank you all.

On the Mac, if you want to screen print the whole screen, simultaneously press the <4-clover>*, <Shift> and the <3> keys. If you want to select a portion of the screen, simulataneously press the <4-clover>, <Shift> and the <4> keys and then use the mouse to select the areas you want to capture. The captures file will be store either on your Desktop or whatever folder you have specified via Preferences.

[Note: * - Sorry, I'm not sure if it's the Apple key, Alt key or the Option key (I'm using a Microsoft keyboard ) so I'll just refer to it as the 4-clover key, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. ]

It's the Apple key
