I am trying to copy the iPhone simulator to use in photoshop for a website. I want to create a static image from one of my apps pages with the iPhone casing.
When I try to go to the simulator menu and select edit-copy screen, the screen contents are copied and can be pasted in photoshop.
However when I select edit - copy, for some reason the entire simulator including the bevel is not copied to the clipboard or perhaps copied in a format that is not recognized. The clipboard remains empty.
I can do a screen shot and then do some work in photoshop to remove everything beyond the boundary but just wondering if anyone has figured out a way to copy the simulator including the bevel to the clipboard for use in other apps.
Just wondering why the edit - copy is not working.

You can use the normal macOS screenshot shortcuts for that: press⌃⇧⌘4 to start the screenshot-to-clipboard and then pressSpace to change to the window selection. Move the mouse over the simulator window (which turns blue) and press the mouse/touch pad button. This copies the window including its shadow (but without any background). Use⇧⌘4 to save to a file on the desktop instead.
You may need to enable the shortcuts: open the system preferences, go toKeyboard >Shortcuts >Screen Shots.
