The differences between the words are subtle. 'Tomar' can be used as in 'to take a pill', but 'sacar' is used for pictures.

Also, I think you mean 'me gusta' for 'me gusto' means 'I like myself' wink

Your sex doesn't effect verb conjugtion in that manner. - 0074b507, Jul 11, 2011
I always think of the object that is pleasing me...for example: it pleases you, use (me gusta) sacar fotos...It pleases me to take fotos - lennycaraya, Jul 11, 2011

You surely can "tomar una foto;" it just depends what country you are in. I have heard both sacar and tomar. smile

Tomar = To take Sacar - To take out (ie pictures or the garbage)

Both verbs therefore cannot be used interchangeably all the time.

Hope this helps
