Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Window Screenshot on an Apple iMac
Taking a screenshot on an Apple iMac is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. Screenshots are useful for capturing images of your computer screen, which can then be shared with others or used for reference. Here is a step-by-step guide to taking a window screenshot on an Apple iMac:
1. Open the window you would like to capture in the screenshot. Make sure it is the only window open and that it is visible on your screen.
2. Press and hold down the Command (⌘) key, Shift (⇧) key, and number 4 key simultaneously on your keyboard. This will cause your cursor to turn into crosshairs with numbers next to them; this indicates that you are now in “screenshot mode” and ready to take the shot.
3. Move the crosshairs over the window you want to capture until it highlights blue, then click once with your mouse or trackpad button while still holding down all three keys from Step 2 above (Command + Shift + 4). You should hear a camera shutter sound indicating that you have successfully taken a screenshot of that window!
4. The image will automatically save as .png file onto your desktop; if desired, you can rename this file by right-clicking on it and selecting “Rename” from the dropdown menu before saving it elsewhere or sharing it with someone else online or via email attachment etc..
And there you have it – taking screenshots of windows on an Apple iMac has never been easier!
How to Capture and Save a Window Screenshot on Your Apple iMac in Just a Few Clicks
Taking a screenshot of your Apple iMac is a quick and easy way to capture what’s on your screen. Whether you need to save an image, document, or website for later reference, or just want to share something with someone else, capturing and saving a screenshot can be done in just a few clicks. Here’s how:
1. Press Command + Shift + 3 simultaneously on your keyboard. This will take a picture of the entire screen and save it as an image file on your desktop.

3. To open the screenshot after it has been saved, double-click its icon from the desktop or select it from Finder > Pictures > Screenshots folder (or wherever you have chosen to store screenshots).
4. To edit or share the screenshot further, open it in Preview (or any other photo editing software) by right-clicking its icon and selecting Open With > Preview (or other software). From there you can crop out unnecessary parts of the image or add annotations before saving it again in whatever format is required for sharing purposes (eg., JPEG).
Following these steps should help make capturing and saving screenshots from your Apple iMac quick and easy!
