The most common way to "print screen" on a Mac is through dedicated keyboard shortcuts that save images directly to your as .png files by default.
This "magic" trick turns your cursor into a camera icon. Hover over any open window or menu—it will highlight with a blue tint—and click to capture just that element, often neatly excluding the desktop background and shadows. The Command Center: Command + Shift + 5
This is the classic "Print Screen." It instantly captures everything visible across all connected monitors.
