How do I change the size of a print screen after + Shift + 3?

[key-lime]

I learned how to print screen yesterday, ⌘ + Shift + 3 and ⌘ + Shift + 4, and I remember seeing it give me a few size options, but now I don't know where they are or how to change the size of my print screen(s)? Is this done after they are on my desktop or before?

Any specific help is appreciated.

Use Preview and adjust the size.

 

[key-lime]

Where is Preview?

Is this done when the print screen is on the desktop or when I am actually print screening?

Sorry for the questions.

You don't change the size while you capture. You change it after. Basically you capture the screen to JPG, double click the file, Preview will launch, then resize it to any size you want.

Once I have double clicked it and it is in preview mode, where exactly do I go to change/adjust the size? I have it opened, right clicked, but I don't see the place to do this at.

I am trying to put these in an email. Based on the size they are now, when I paste them over to an email, they are tiny.

Thanks!

You can change the size if you are using Mac Mail right from the compose screen.. there's an option in the lower right corner of the window.

Otherwise, go to Tools > Adjust Size in Preview once the image is opened.

Double-click the file, go to Tool/Adjust Size on the menu.

Or you simply choose the region that you want to screenshot by pressing Control + Command + Shift + 4. You'll get a + cursor and you can click and drag the area you want to take a screenshot of. Plus, it's in the clipboard.

Worked perfectly.....I only printed the area I wanted instead of the entire screen.

Thanks so much!!!
