How to take screenshot

[tufas 21021]

How do you take a screenshot in Parallels? Obviously, Mac don't have a Print Screen button. Does anyone know which Mac key it's assigned to?

Press Command-Shift-3 to make a screenshot. The file with picture will appear on your Mac Desktop.

Sorry, but I probably wasn't clear enough with my request. I'd like to do a Print Screen within Windows, not Mac. Thanks.

tufas,

Try using Virtual Machine -> Send Keys -> Print Screen. If you use it a lot, I would recommend making a permanent key mapping for it in Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse. Just press the "+" and configure a Mac keyboard shortcut to be interpeted as "PrintSc" (which can be selected in the drop-down menu).

Thanks Flagg, I was actually playing around last night and found that F13 on my external Mac keyboard is already assigned to the Print Screen command. But your advice is still very helpful for future reference!

Screenshot software.

For Windows users this bit of freeware is great, used it for years.

Not sure if there is a Mac version! Does not look like as if there is.

Hello David,

Kindly click on the below mentioned link and download the Keytweak software.

This helps you to key map the shortcut keys especially for the Print screen command.

Hey, guys!
I found a program to take screenshots on Mac! It is called Screenshots Remote.

There is also a tutorial about this program on youtube.

What do you think about this program?
It can take screenshots itself or even remotely.I liked it.
What is your opinion?

As for me, I prefer to use ScreenshotsShots Remote. It allows to take screenshots of your monitor remotely. So you can see what is done on your computer.

There are multiple ways of taking screen shots on mac or windows as well as a long web page..

MacBook: Tapping [Command]+[shift]+[3] allows you to snapshot the whole screen. Tapping [Command]+[shift]+[4] enables you to screenshot the certain area of the whole screen.
Windows: For some Ccomputer, you can tap [PrintScreen SysRq]. But the screenshot will be saved to the clipboard and you need to paste it in some apps such as Paint and Word.
But the above screenshot method is quite inflexible. You may try FonePaw Screen Recorder and it is more powerful.

Create a desktop folder called screenshots. Open terminal. Whenever you need to take a screenshot repeat the command below. (Up arrow followed by enter allows you to repeat the previous command without typing it again)

screencapture -W ~/Desktop/screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).jpg

Thank you for sharing this Terminal command with the users.
