The "Take Picture" button in the latest release of Alice 2.3 has been removed.

By way of explanation, this was not an arbitrary decision.  The problem is that the built-in "Take a Picture" in Alice 2
was created using Direct X for the PC.  Therefore, it doesn't work for Mac users and recent updates of Direct X cause
problems on newer systems (Vista, Windows 7, and now Windows 8).

Therefore, we have had a increasing number of complaints and that has led to disabling the feature and asking
people to simply use whatever screen capture they have on their computer. See the following links:

For Windows

For OS X

Let me know if you have any other questions.
