Screen Capture Tips for Mac and PC

November 19, 2008 by Marc --- Categories: Tech

I always forget how to screen capture because I’m a bit of a Switzerland in that I like and use both Mac’s and PC’s. So this post is my quick reference guide. Let me know if you have any others?

I’m a MAC

  • Command + Shift + 3 = entire desktop
  • Command + Shift + 4 = select part desktop
  • Command + Shift + 4 then Spacebar = active window

I’m a PC

  • Print Screen > Paste into graphics program = desktop
  • Alt + Print Screen > Paste into graphics program = active window

I’m a Vista PC

  • Accessories > Snipping Tool > pick method from ‘New’ drop-down
