How do I capture a screenshot using a Mac?


You can easily take a picture of the screen on your Mac by holding down these three keys on the keyboard:

Shift + Command (cmd) + 3

This will automatically save a picture to the desktop which you can then open and edit later. If you want to capture a smaller section of the screen, try:

Shift + Command (cmd) + 4

This gives you a screen capture cursor on the screen which you can click and drag to cover a specific area.

For more details, see the  guide on the Apple web site.
