Sarah Tew/CNET If your workflow requires taking regular screenshots on your MacBook or Mac Pro, then you’ll need to know three common keyboard shortcuts, and a fourth if you have a MacBook with a touch bar. One of these techniques is a little newer. You might remember it from MacOS Mojave, 우리카지노계열 but if you didn’t, rest assured that it has carried over to MacOS Catalina. 

Stick around, too, because we also walk you through how to work with those screenshots once you’ve taken them. Apple gives you a fair number of options to easily save, 우리카지노계열쿠폰 delete and open the screenshot for markup, tools that I’ve come to appreciate and 우리카지노총판 regularly use.

And if you’re looking for other tips, here are five ways to make your loud Mac’s fan less noisy and how to get back into your locked Mac if you forgot your password.

This keyboard shortcut captures a screenshot of your entire screen.

Shift-Command-4 

Use this keyboard combo to turn your cursor 우리카지노계열쿠폰 into a crosshair, which you can drag to select a portion of your screen to capture. Release the mouse button or trackpad to take the shot.

You have a number of other options after hitting Shift-Command-4:

Press and release the space bar: The crosshair turns into a little camera icon, which you can move over any open window. Click on your desired window to take a screenshot of it. A screenshot captured by this method features a white border around the window with a bit of a drop shadow.

Press and hold the space bar (after dragging to highlight an area but before releasing the mouse button or trackpad): This locks in the shape and size of the selection area but lets you reposition it on the screen. It’s very handy if your initial selection area is off by a few pixels; just hold down the space bar to reposition it before releasing the mouse button to snap a screenshot.

Hold down the Shift key (after dragging to highlight an area but before releasing the mouse button or trackpad): This locks in each side of the selection area made with the crosshairs save the bottom edge, letting you move your mouse up or down to position the bottom edge. 

Without releasing the mouse button, release the Shift key and hit it again to reposition the right edge of your selection area. You can toggle between moving the bottom edge and right edge by keeping the mouse button or touchpad engaged and pressing the Shift key.
