First, what method are you using to take the screenshot? There are hundreds, so that would be a good place to start. Are you using command-option-3 (or 4)?
Screenshot is coming out blurred

FOR MAC USERS ONLY: I read the discussions on the topic of "how to take a screenshot". I also read the instructions that were given for both Windows and Mac. I own a Mac and can easily take a screenshot of a page in the bible, but what when I copy and paste it into Facebook, it comes so small that it cannot be read, and if I open it to another page to enlarge it, it comes out blurred.
My question is what do I do after I have taken the screenshot? What I normally do is click on "file' and then copy. When I'm on Facebook (Logos page), I paste it, but in the end, it comes out blurred. What step am I missing?
Thank you.

I just noticed this tidbit. I am unsure why you are "copying and pasting" it. You should simply attach it like you would any other photo.

This may sound silly to you, but I don't see anything that says, "save as", all I see is "save." My question is save to what?

It does not sound silly. You can't know something until you know it. Then you will know! [:)]

The default for "command-shift-3" <should> be creating a screenshot saved to your Mac's desktop. You seem to be referencing some sort of guide, but I am not sure which guide or set of instructions you are following. Do you have a link?

Yes, I saw that and used it. It captured the screenshot. I then went to Facebook and clicked on "attach a photo". Once I did that, a small image came up just like before. I had to open it on another page, and as usual it came out blurred.

My screenshot is this resolution: 2880 × 1800. What is yours?

For clarification: When you open the screenshot from the desktop (double clicking on it... not trying to attach it someplace else), what does it look like? Is it clear or fuzzy?

Does this look fuzzy to you when you click on it?

Can you upload a screenshot to the forums here?
I am running at a loss.

If you see below, I have two images where one is larger and clearer than the other one, but if I want to upload it to a conversation in Logos Facebook, it comes out as a small image which forces me to right click and open it in a new tab. Either way, they both come out blurred after that.

The larger one is perfectly clear when I click on it. How did you create the small image?

The small one is Ctrl-Shift-3, while the larger one is 5. So, the problem is only with Facebook then. Either combination comes out a small image that when opened is blurred.
Thank you for all your effort and interest in helping. I don't think there is nothing else that can be done. 🥴

It shouldnt be a small image. When you click on the image, it should be large.
If you have any techie mac friends, you should see if they can take a look to see what is going on. Sorry I couldnt be of more help! [:s]
