There are 4 ways to take screenshots on Mac

People who say "Huh? Four? Isn't that obvious?" If you use Mac regularly, one way to take screenshots is enough. I don't really think about going deeper than that. So, today I will introduce four. how did you shoot

command (⌘) + shift + 3

Press three keys to screenshot the entire Mac screen. It's the most orthodox way of taking screenshots.

command (⌘) + shift + 4

If you change from 3 to 4, you can select an area and take a screenshot. When you press the three keys, a cross cursor will be displayed, so if you enclose the part you want to shoot OK. This is useful when you want to record a part of the screen instead of the full screen.

command (⌘) + shift + 4 + spacebar

Shoot an entire window. Pressing all four keys will show the camera icon. You can take a screenshot by clicking the window you want to take with the camera. Perfect for when you're using multiple software or have multiple windows open and just want to take one shot. Mac window screenshots have shadows by default, but if you want to take shadows, press the opton key before clicking the camera icon!

command (⌘) + shift + 5

If you don't want to memorize 4, think of it as a summary and just remember this! After pressing the three keys, the first look is the same as the previous one, but the screen shot menu is displayed below. From here, you can select the above screenshot pattern, such as the entire screen, area, or window. You can also shoot screen videos instead of images from here. You can also set where to save screenshots.

That's all for the basic usage!
