Taking screenshots on a Macbook Pro 2020 is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of taking screenshots on your Macbook Pro 2020.

1. To begin, open the application or window that you would like to take a screenshot of.
2. Press and hold down the “Command” and “Shift” keys simultaneously, then press the number 3 key. This will take a screenshot of your entire screen and save it as an image file on your desktop.

The resulting image file will also be saved on your desktop as with step 2 above.
4. To view or edit any screenshots taken using either method described above, simply double-click on their respective image files located on your desktop; they should open up automatically in Preview mode where they can be viewed or edited further if desired before being saved again for future use or sharing with others online or via email etc..

How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts for Quick and Easy Screenshots on a Macbook Pro 2020

Taking screenshots on a Macbook Pro 2020 is quick and easy with the use of keyboard shortcuts. To capture the entire screen, press Command + Shift + 3 simultaneously. This will save a screenshot of your entire screen as an image file on your desktop. If you would like to take a screenshot of only part of the screen, press Command + Shift + 4 instead. This will turn your cursor into crosshairs that you can click and drag to select the area you want to capture. When you release the mouse button, it will save an image file of that selection on your desktop.

If you would like to copy a screenshot directly to your clipboard instead of saving it as an image file, add Control to either shortcut: Command + Shift + Control + 3 for full-screen or Command + Shift+ Control+ 4 for partial-screen selection. You can then paste this image into any application or document that supports images without having to save it first.
