Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Window Screenshot on Apple Macbook Air 2020
Taking a screenshot on an Apple Macbook Air 2020 is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of taking a window screenshot on your Macbook Air.
Step 1: Locate the window you want to take a screenshot of. Make sure it is open and visible on your screen.
Step 2: Press and hold down the “Command”, “Shift”, and “4” keys simultaneously. Your cursor will turn into crosshairs with pixel coordinates at the bottom of your screen.
Step 3: Move your cursor over the window you want to capture and click once with your mouse or trackpad. The area around the window will be highlighted in blue to indicate that it has been selected for capture.
Step 4: Release all three keys at once to take the screenshot of just that window, which will be saved as an image file on your desktop by default (you can change this setting in System Preferences). You can also drag out an area around multiple windows if desired before releasing all three keys for multiple screenshots at once.
Step 5: To view or edit your newly created screenshot, simply double-click its icon from within Finder or open it using Preview or another image editing program such as Photoshop or GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program).
