Создание снимков экрана и записей экрана на Mac
Используя функцию «Снимок экрана» или сочетания клавиш, можно создавать изображения (они называются снимками экрана) или записи экрана Mac. Используя инструменты в панели «Снимок экрана», можно легко создавать снимки и записи экрана, выбирать область для съемки, установить таймер задержки, включать указатель или нажатия.

Доступные параметры зависят от выполняемого действия (снимок экрана или запись экрана). Например, можно установить таймер задержки, показывать указатель или нажатия мышью и выбрать место сохранения файла.
Вариант «Показывать плавающую миниатюру» помогает легче работать с готовым снимком или записью: они отображаются в правом нижнем углу экрана в течение нескольких секунд, и Вы можете перетянуть их в документ, добавить примечания или поделиться перед сохранением в указанном Вами месте.

Перетяните миниатюру в документ, электронное письмо, заметку или окно Finder.
Нажмите миниатюру, чтобы открыть окно, где можно добавить примечания к снимку, обрезать запись или поделиться ими.
В зависимости от места сохранения снимка или записи экрана может открыться приложение.
Создание снимков экрана при помощи сочетаний клавиш
Для создания снимков экрана Mac можно использовать различные сочетания клавиш. Файлы сохраняются на рабочем столе.
Совет. Чтобы скопировать снимок экрана и вставить его куда-то, например в сообщение электронной почты или на другое устройство, нажмите и удерживайте клавишу Control, нажимая остальные клавиши. Например, чтобы скопировать изображение всего экрана в буфер, нажмите сочетание клавиш Shift-Command-Control-3.

Нажмите сочетание клавиш Shift-Command-3.
Снимок части экрана
Нажмите сочетание клавиш Shift-Command-4, затем наведите курсор-перекрестие в точку начала фрагмента экрана, который нужно снять. Нажмите кнопку мыши или трекпада, перетяните указатель и выделите часть экрана для снимка, затем отпустите кнопку мыши или трекпада.
Снимок окна или строки меню
Нажмите сочетание клавиш Shift-Command-4, затем нажмите клавишу пробела. Наведите указатель камеры на окно или строку меню, чтобы выделить их, затем нажмите.

, затем нажмите «Сочетания клавиш».
В некоторых приложениях, например DVD-плеере, создание снимков окон недоступно.
Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac
You can take pictures (called screenshots) or recordings of the screen on your Mac using Screenshot or keyboard shortcuts. Screenshot provides a panel of tools that let you easily take screenshots and screen recordings, with options to control what you capture—for example, you can set a timer delay or include the pointer or clicks.

The available options vary based on whether you’re taking a screenshot or a screen recording. For example, you can choose to set a timed delay or show the mouse pointer or clicks, and specify where to save the file.
The Show Floating Thumbnail option helps you work more easily with a completed shot or recording—it floats in the bottom-right corner of the screen for a few seconds so you have time to drag it into a document, mark it up, or share it before it’s saved to the location you specified.

For the entire screen or a portion of it: Click Capture.
For a window: Move the pointer to the window, then click the window.
For recordings: Click Record. To stop recording, click the Stop Recording button 
in the menu bar.
When the Show Floating Thumbnail option is set, you can do any of the following while the thumbnail is briefly displayed in the bottom-right corner of the screen:
Swipe right to immediately save the file and make it disappear.
Drag the thumbnail into a document, an email, a note, or a Finder window.
Click the thumbnail to open a window where you can mark up the screenshot or trim the recording, or share it.
Depending on where you chose to save the screenshot or recording, an app may open.
Take pictures using keyboard shortcuts
You can use various keyboard shortcuts on your Mac to take pictures of the screen. The files are saved to the desktop.
Tip: To copy a screenshot so you can paste it somewhere—like in an email or to another device—press and hold the Control key while you press the other keys. For example, to copy the whole screen, press Shift-Command-Control-3.
Capture the entire screen
Capture a portion of the screen

How to Take and Edit Screenshots on a Mac
Written by Katie Gutwein
As a marketer, what you do can be pretty difficult to explain to coworkers outside of marketing. It can be even more difficult to explain how «inbound» marketing helps the whole business grow.
After countless puzzled looks on the other side of my desk, I’ve found that the best way for me to share the nitty gritty of what I do is through visuals. And what are the best types of visuals? Screenshots.
If you’re preparing for your next big presentation, reporting on a new process to your boss, or simply writing an article explaining how to do something, this blog post is for you.
What Is a Screenshot?
A screenshot is a still image of your computer screen’s current display. Taking a screenshot of your computer will produce a picture of the contents of your monitor as they appear in front of you. This image does not include any windows or programs you have minimized.
Screenshots allow you to quickly create image files of content that’s otherwise too difficult to convert to a JPG, PNG, or similar image file. The possibilities are limitless, but here are some of my favorite use cases for taking a screenshot:
Monthly Analytics Reports
Performance reports often require graphs, charts, tables, and other visual data you might originally create in Excel.
Taking a screenshot of a chart you made in another program helps you transfer this data directly into your analytics report without worrying that the photo won’t display correctly.
PowerPoint Presentations
PowerPoints are at their most effective when they’re visual. Want to pull the picture of a website’s homepage into a slide about web design? Capture it in a screenshot and drag the resulting image into your PowerPoint deck.
Emails
Most professionals have at least a handful of unread emails in their inbox, so the messages they do read should be easy to digest at a glance. Longwinded emails need visual aids to help readers do this, and image files are your most versatile option for uploading images into the email body.
Annotated Instructions
How-to’s can be hard to follow without visual supplements, and the steps you’re explaining aren’t always readily available in picture form.
Mac computers make taking a screenshot fairly easy. Keep in mind when taking a screenshot, you have four options:
How to Take a Screenshot on Mac
When taking a screenshot of your entire screen, be sure to arrange the contents of your computer screen with exactly what you want to take a screenshot of.
If you have a second monitor connected to your Mac, the resulting screenshot will produce two separate image files for each monitor.
When taking a screenshot of just part of your screen, you don’t have to worry about the contents’ arrangement, as long as what you want to capture is fully visible on your monitor.
In any of the four processes above, your mouse cursor will not be visible. Let’s dive into each option above, one at a time.
Take a screenshot of your entire screen and save it to your desktop.
Take a screenshot of your entire screen and save it to your clipboard.
Take a screenshot of part of your screen and save it to your desktop.
Take a screenshot of part of your screen and save it to your clipboard
Take a Screenshot Using Grab
In addition to the above keyboard shortcuts, you can also take a screenshot using a little-known application that’s native to your Mac computer: Grab. Here’s how to use it:
«Selection» screenshots allow you to take a screenshot of part of your screen, just as you would in the third and fourth set of steps earlier in this article. «Screen» screenshots capture your entire screen.
«Window» screenshots allow you to capture a specific window you have open, and «Timed Screen» screenshots start a 10-second timer before automatically capturing your entire screen.

How to Edit a Screenshot on a Mac
Once you’ve taken a screenshot on your Mac, you it’s time to get fancy. That’s where editing comes in to play.
I do most of my screenshot editing in Keynote, a presentation tool that usually comes standard with a Mac. Apple Preview also works quite well to crop and annotate screenshots with text and shapes. Here’s how you’d edit your screenshot using either software:
The possibilities are virtually endless, and there are plenty of other image editing tools out there, too. Ready to add visuals to your presentation, email, or article? Your next screenshot awaits.
