[Mac only] Have you ever wanted to have your mouse cursor captured in
your screenshot but could never make it happen? If you haven’t noticed,
whether on a Mac or PC, every time you capture a screenshot, your mouse
cursor cannot be found. Give it a shot.
If it is necessary to have the cursor in the screenshot, some of us
may choose to edit the cursor in, which is a tad bit of a hassle. Why
not just have the cursor snapped in together in the screenshot?
In this tutorial, we will show you how you can utilize a Mac tool to add in your mouse cursor, without installing any application or editing your photo. This tool is called ‘Grab’, and it’s a screenshot utility already available in your Mac.
Check the ‘Enable Sound’ to hear the screenshot capture sound effect.
To save the image, click on ‘File’ and ‘Save’. Note that file will be saved in ‘.TIFF’ format,
Alternatively, if you want to copy the image and save it elsewhere, click on ‘Edit’ and then ‘Copy’ and just paste it elsewhere.

When ‘Screen’ is selected, a new window will appear to guide you on
your screen grab. To start capture, click anywhere on your window area.

This guide window will not appear in your screenshot, and your mouse pointer will appear as selected earlier.

When ‘Timed Screen’ is selected, another guide window will appear and
you will have 10 seconds to prepare where you want to place your mouse
pointer.
Click on the ‘Start Timer’ and position your cursor where you want it within 10 seconds.
