So if you want to send it as an email you can do that and not have this file leftover on your desktop or in some folder somewhere. The Share button allows you to actually share this out without ever saving it as a file. You can simply hit Done and that will continue to save the file to where you want it to. You can throw this away if you didn't get the screenshot you wanted. Now you have commands here on the top right. You can view it to see whether or not it's what you want. So you've got the ability to draw on it, to add text to it, all sorts of things and crop it as well using the crop tool here. If you click it it will open it up and give you all the markup tools. There's that floating thumbnail that I was talking about. So let's go and say Capture the entire screen. So once you've selected these options you can go with what you want. Remember Last Selection for selecting part of the screen. Like whether or not to Show the Floating Thumbnail when it's done. Then you can say 5 second delay, start the screenshot, get everything like you want and then it captures it. Like if you need to hold down a key to see something or if you need to bring up a menu. This is really useful if you want to capture some sort of action and you can't kind of do the screenshot and then do the action at the same time. You could set a timer for 5 or 10 seconds. You can select Other Location and choose anywhere you want to save it. You can set where this screenshot is going to be saved to. Just click on Options and there's a bunch of things. Or you can record a selected portion or the screen. You can record the entire screen that's going to give you a video recording. Now you could've done that before with QuickTime Player and it's still available at QuickTime Player. In addition you can also do screen recording from here. Just Shift Command 5 is the only one you need to remember and you have these options here. You don't have to remember all the keyboard shortcuts.
But now it's really clear to what you're using.
You've got the option to capture a selected portion of the screen. You've got the option to capture a selected window. So you've got the option to capture the entire screen. Shift Command 5 and it brings up this control strip here at the bottom and you have lots of options. But the fifth one, Screenshot and Recording Options, is simply Shift Command 5. You've got shortcuts for saving to the Clipboard, saving a selected area to a file, or a selected area to the Clipboard.īut now we have a fifth command. You can use Shift Command 3 to save a picture of the whole screen as a file. Let's start by going to System Preferences and in Keyboard Shortcuts we can see the Screenshots shortcuts and the first four are very familiar because they are exactly the same.
