How to create a screenshot?

QUESTION

How to create a screenshot on macOS and Windows?

ANSWER

For Mac users

1. The first way to make a screenshot is to use Grab Utility. Navigate to Hard disk -> Applications-> Utilities->Grab.app. Capture the error message window and save it on your computer.

2. The second way is to use the combination of keys Shift+Command+3 to capture the whole screen or Shift+Command+4 to capture a specific selection.

For Windows users

Press the Prnt Scrn or the Print Screen key on the keyboard.

• To copy the entire view of your monitor press Print Screen.
• To copy only the active window, hold Alt and press Prtn Scrn.

Now an image file is on the clipboard and can be pasted into another document. If you want to add text, highlights, or markings to an image, use Photoshop and save the file as JPEG. Alternatively, you may paste the screenshot into a MS Word Document.
