Tricky, but it works!!!
So, after fretting about the fact that each time I tried to click on the application icon it would not open, I realized it will not open when you click on it, because in the top bar of the browswer where you have all of the information icons (time, battery life, date, wifi etc.) it is already running. That was a “Doh” moment for me! After that all you do is just click on the scissors icon, capture what you want, and if you don’t have the screen up that you want to capture something on, hit the ESC key. It takes you out of active mode but does not “close” the application. You then click again in the top right corner where you see the scissors icon and you can snip away to your heart’s content. If you try to open it with the application icon, when the scissors icon is in the top corner, you will spin your wheels, just like I did. You will beinstalling and uninstalling until **EUREKA** you figure it out like I did, or you read this review…enjoy! To close the appliction use the pull down menu from the icon at the top of your screen. Only after having closed the application do you see that icon disappear. Then, and only then, do you need to click on the application icon in launchpad to open it when you want to use it again. Running a MacBookPro *2010 with Mavericks on one partitioned hard drive and Yosemite on the other…works on both.
