Screen Capture Tips for Mac and PC

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

1. Command + Shift + 3 = entire desktop
2. Command + Shift + 4 = select part desktop
3. Command + Shift + 4 then Spacebar = active window

I’m a PC

1. Print Screen > Paste into graphics program = desktop
2. Alt + Print Screen > Paste into graphics program = active window

I’m a Vista PC

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