Help an old dog,real macro's using imacs?????

[OLDproLg]

hey ya friends!

Just NOW starting a new adventure,taking REAL macro's!
Well i never read the dirrections on my cam just auto snapped
shots before.....so i read the book an found out HOW to take a macro.
After taking the shot,i have PREVIEW when i punch the pic to full screen
then from their i hit the WINDOW funtion.THat has a ZOOM IN or out button.

Now when i ZOOM IN the macro becomes MUCH MUCH closer!!!!
Looks ok for my first try,but HOW THE HELL DO YOU SAVE A ZOOMED PIC??????
i press export dont do shit,i press copy dont do shit except make a clipboard?

Also i dont have iphoto or photoshop that i know of,my old imac is a 2000 desktop.
STILL running in OSX10.1.....hahah and a few browsers that still work most the time?
i know i need a NEW imac but i just wanna figure out what im doing wrong here...
Here is a rescent macro,using macro and spot focus setting...also specks on my cam.
i know it takes lenses and good cams and added lights but im not a pro at pics.........

i can show you the limits of a normal Macro Sigma 50mm 2.8 shot with a Canon 5d Mark II


here you see the whole picture a thrips on a cannabis leaf
its resized off course to fit the web here

View Image


in relation to the cropped version, here it depends on how much juice you have in the pixels
and how steady you hold the cam or depending on the facilities and lenses

its a 100 % crop, so original size when you cut the rest away
its not corrected in any way, not sharpened and no color correction

View Image

it could be held maybe a bit better since its moving in the box with wind
i didnt use IS or any tripod its also not a very beautiful picture to show off i believe
but it shows what you can do

i could also show you many more macros but i guess thats not very helpful
since from every lens and camera there are many many examples on the web
maybe check out pixelpeeper for this matter.

Is that a pet thrip?
