I use my iPad for taking screenshots. I’ve been frustrated when I want a screenshot shot on my Mac because it seemed so difficult. Just finding the app drove me nuts. After watching your presentation I couldn’t believe how easy it is on the Mac. Thanks so much. I’ve been a Microsoft user since DOS 2.1. Making the transition to the Mac has been challenging for me. Thanks for facilitating the transition for me.
Hi Gary. As usual, I looked at the title of this video and thought “I know how to do this“, but as usual, you are able to teach me at least three extra things that I didn’t know. In my case, the use of the PDF file is brilliant, because I often annotate screenshots and want to change the annotations later. I have certainly been frustrated in the past when I saved the annotations with the picture as a photo, never to be able to undo the annotations. Now I know to save it as a PDF and it will always be changeable, thank you so much. Another great video!
@@chezchezchezchez Sure! (I used to use Adobe for PDFs, but since Gary taught me the extent of Apple's native PDF editor (Preview), I was able to cancel my Adobe subscription and use only Preview. It does anything Adobe does, but better and is included with Mac software.)
Thank you for your very simple to understand teachings Gary. I have learnt two important things that will improve my workflow. One is using the sketch tool to draw cirlcles and other shaoes, and, very importantly, have a speech bubble. Another very important lesson was that I could save as PDF files to retain the ability to further edit annotations. In my workflow of making sketches, I first create a BMP document in Patina, open the document in Preview where I draw the outlines, and again open the document in Patina to fill colour/erase; I wish Preview is provided with a shape fill colour feature that Patina has. Regards and God bless you and your family.
Great tutorial as usual Gary. I confess I use shift command 4 all the time with Preview. It gives me l need but I never fail to watch your tutorials as there is always something new from you. Thanks Gary.k
very complicated -but! I've been using shift command 3 and then having to crop that when sending a screenshot to a friend... now I can use shift command 5 and crop immediately! Thanks!!
Not sure what you mean? The parts where it shows me at the bottom right corner? That's not new. But I use ScreenFlow which allows me to use a green screen and place me anywhere and resize. Then I have another layer that is a graphic under that.
Amazing! I have been using the Paste App for years, and paying for it! One question…what I love about Paste is the ability to save my captures in order and refer to them over time. Would I be able to do that with viewer with a dedicated folder for the screen captures? Thank you so much!
Question: does anybody use the app Shottr for screenshots? I do, but as far as I know, you can’t save as a PDF, so every time you mark things up, if you go back to it, you can’t edit the annotations. Is there a way to do that? Thx!
When you are talking about sharing/saving screen shots at 7:03 "Preview.app" is on the menu, but later at 9:13 "Preview" is again on the menu, but without the file extension. You make a point of saying it's the app and not a folder. Is this just a inconsistency from Apple in the way screenshots are saved?
Sir, I have deleted photos and videos from photos app in my iPad, I have also deleted those photos and videos from Recently deleted items as well. For the icloud storage i turned photos app backup off as I dont want those photos, but while going in Settings-General-iPad stoage, it shows me that photos app is taking around 1GBs space. When i have deleted all the photos/videos from my ipad then why is consuming that much space, Please help !!
@@macmost yeah, I have contacted them 3 timesz they have not provided me exact solution. Sometimes they say to restart, sometimes they say to signout and sign in again. Well Thanks Sir, your videos provide me great help 😊😊
If I use a block that whites out an area, then reprint to a new PDF. Can anybody move that white block because I experimented it looks like when I reprinted no one can move that white block that I hid some text underneath it. Kinda like redacting, but just Whiting something out.
I always screenshot but immediately airdrop it to my iPhone, mark it up there and post or share it. I don't know, I just hate to mark it up on the Mac.

Wow, you gave ME an idea now.
I’ve been using a third-party app for screenshots, but I don’t think it can save as PDF
Wow. Thanks a lot

Seriously, I use this tool nearly every day, and I never knew the full depth of it. Thank you for the deep dive.
YES!!!!

Awesome video as always Gary!! I learn something every time.
very useful lesson!
WOW!!! Thank you so much !!! I was going NUTS!!! I couldn’t remove an edit because I didn’t save it as a PDF!!!
Double WOW! I have used the Markup tools before but did not realize how much you can do with them. Thank You so much Gary! You have made my day!
Excellent.
Cheers gary, thanks for your help
The tutorial on the markup tools is well worth today's video. However, the confidence before deleting has bit me in the ass more than once. 🙂
Totally agree. Reminds me how awesome MacOS is!
Great video. I learned so many tips & shortcuts I can apply.
Thank you for a great training video for all!
Oh so useful! Much appreciated!
So useful... as always I learn something I didn't know. Thx
Awesome tips, Gary! BTW, nice seersucker shirt!
Fantsastic Stuff...Thanks

Thanks very much, Gary, for this informative video! This is absolutely fantastic.
This is super helpful. Thank you very much for sharing. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks, Gary! Your tutorial on Mac's screenshot and markup tools is super helpful. Great tips and clear instructions!

This video is full of productive tips! What a surprise. Thanks, Gary. You are the best.
Thanks, Gary. I was thinking of buying a third-party program to handle screenshot markup. Now I see that I don’t need such a program.
Excellent tutorial. Very useful information. Many thanks!
(Re)markable!
Gary great tutorial. Can you show us how you created your NEW Picture in Picture. LOVE that look

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏❤️

Sure. Save them all to a common folder and then it would be easy to see them by date. Rename as needed.
Question: does anybody use the app Shottr for screenshots?
I do, but as far as I know, you can’t save as a PDF, so every time you mark things up, if you go back to it, you can’t edit the annotations. Is there a way to do that?

One is the Share menu and one is the Options menu for the screenshot utility. They refer to the same thing.
@@macmost Thanks. I missed that.

Hard to say without seeing it. Are you sure you don't have photos in some other location or app?
@@macmost Yes SIr, I am 100% sure, there is no photo in some other location or app, May I email you the screen recording, if possible sir?
@@suyashsrivastava634 For direct help you need to contact Apple Support, not me.

I've had a mac for over 10 years now and had no idea it could do all that.
