Mac Screenshot Shortcut

Mac Tips, TechBytes 1 Comment ,

Want to take a screenshot of just one part of your screen? From any application, use the keyboard shortcut of Cmd + Shift + 4 to get a crosshairs icon. Click and drag a box around the area you want to capture and a .png file will be saved to your desktop (named Picture 1.png, Picture 2.png, and so on).

    If you wanna take windowed screenshots, try hitting your spacebar after doing Cmd + Shift + 4, your crosshair icon would change into a camera icon. Try Cmd + Shift + 3 for full screen mode.

    Also, here's how to enable the annotations toolbar in Preview annotate your screenshots with Arrows and Circles:
