Windows users who have switched to Macs often want to Screen Capture or Print Screen in Mac OS X, and miss the Print Screen button on a PC keyboard. Here are a few ways to achieve the same effect on a Mac:<\/p>\n

    \n

  2. Hold down Apple key + Shift + 3, then release all keys<\/li>\n
  3. Use your mouse to click on the screen<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You will see a picture file appear on your desktop, which is the captured image file.<\/p>\n

    You can Print Screen (screen capture) just a portion of your screen, which is really useful if you are wanting to focus on a particular part, say an icon, or part of a menu bar.<\/p>\n
