Print Screen Equivalent in OSX (Screen Capture)

In Windows, there is a key to capture screen quickly. Print Screen is the one. Or to capture an individual Window you can use ALT-Print Screen.

In Mac OSX, it is different. There is no such key. Never mind. There is a couple of short cuts which you can use.

1. CMD + SHIFT + 3 - Capture whole screen.

2. CMD + SHIFT + 4 - Gives you a crosshair cursor so you can choose which area of the screen you want to capture then write it to a PNG file on desktop.

3. CMD + CTRL + SHIFT + 4 -gives you a crosshair cursor so you can choose which area of the screen you want to capture and copies it to clipboard. You can paste it into another application like Photoshop and etc.

Have fun.
