How to Take a Picture of a Single Window on a Mac

With the Grab utility program, which is included with all new Mac computers, Mac users can capture a picture of an item on their screen and then save the image file for future use. In addition to taking a screenshot of an entire Mac desktop, users can take pictures of individual windows in which they may be working.

1. Open the window you wish you take a picture of using the necessary application.

2. Open a new Finder window by clicking on the icon in the dock.

3. Navigate to the "Utilities" folder, which can be found in the "Applications" section of the Mac hard drive.

4. Double-click on the "Grab" icon to open the screen-capturing program.

5. Go to the "Capture" menu in the top menu bar and select "Window."

6. Click "Choose Window" in the pop-up box and then click your cursor anywhere within the window you want to capture. The image will be recorded and saved to your desktop.
