How may I make my screen shots default to a .jpg instead of .png

How may I make my screen shots default to a .jpg instead of .png?
Is there a preference somewhere?

One easy way is:
Changing the File Format
In order to change the file format you must firstly open up a Terminal window (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app), and type the following.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type TYPE
For the command to work, you need to replace “TYPE” with a valid file format, the available options are:
png (default)
pdf
jpg
jp[2 (jpeg 2000)
gif
tiff
bmp
pict
tga
Once you have selected your format simply issues the command, placing the file format in it’s space. For example for a JPG, I would issue:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg

How (in windows 8) could I make an screen shot of a PDF figure or table

In windows 8, How could I make an screen shot of a figure or table?

The Windows 8/RT operating system can take screen shots. Please see the Microsoft Windows Support page below.
Take a screen shot (print your screen)
With the steps above, it is possible to capture screen shots of your entire screen or one window.
Please note that Adobe Reader Touch does not provide the functionality to extract or export any objects (text, images, tables, etc.) from a PDF document (yet).

How do I take a screen shot on my macbook pro?

How do I take a screen shot on my macbook pro?

Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

When I print a webpage from FF how can I make the text and images bigger?

I am trying to print an eticket for a flight. The text on the schedule comes out too small and the UPC symbol's black lines look ganged together. I know I can view it zoomed up, but how do I make the text and images stay zoomed so they will print out that way?

I upgraded but the problem remains. At least with Firefox I do have the option to print a selection even if it mangles the top and bottom lines. With Safari or Chrome I have no option to print a selection. At the moment the only way to get a complete copy of the selection is to copy to openoffice etc and print from there.

I have a red flashing bulls eye on my iphone.
I followed the direction to upload a screen shot
I do not see a camera icon to be able to upload The shot.
To this form. I have a iphone 5

This is Vicky again I just ran across an article that says it could mean the phone has water in it. My phone is dry no water. Another article just said to shut off the GPS. My GPS was on and I have now shut it off but why would a red bull's-eye show up intermittently if your GPS is on ?

How can I easily make a screen shot of a polar graph?

Hi everyone,
I am using the very simple VI I have attached to display points (up to 50000 points) on a polar graph. When the screen moves over to the area where there is the graph, the big number of dots included in the graph makes everything become very very slow. I would like to know if there is an easy way to make a print screen of the graph so that I initialize back the graph to no points (or make it invisible) and just display the print screen shot of the graph.
I have already used the print screen function (+ cutting off the parts of the picture I don’t want) but this is a bit fastidious to do. Would an already made print screen function exist for this kind of graph?
Thanks a lot,
User

How Can I Make Acrobat Not Resize Images?

I am trying to turn around 80 images into the pages of a PDF file. The pictures are saved as JPEGs and have the exact dimensions I want them to have as pages of a PDF. When I turn them into a PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 they get resized so when viewed at 100% the text looks like crap. I want to know how I can make Acrobat not mess with the dimensions of my pictures when turning them into a PDF. I make the PDF by clicking the Create button and selecting Merge Files into a Single PDF... . I then drag and drop the pictures into the window and click Combine Files. I have tried all three of the File Size settings and all of them turn out wrong. How can I make this expensive program work the way I want it to by doing htis simple thing right?
I have attached two files, the first of one of the images that will make a page viewed in windows picture and fax viewer at the original size. The second is a screen shot of the messed up PDF with blurry text, viewed at 100%. I want the text in the second picture to look just like the text in the first.

I am not trying to justify Adobe's choice, just an explanation of what may have happened. When one asks for 100%, there is a question of by pixel, by inches (cm), or by size on the screen. These are interpretations and the fact that MS and Adobe interpret them differently is not surprising. However, I think that what you are seeing is a result of the pixel display issues on the screen and with proper sizing, they should appear the same (at least I think). In Acrobat, there is also a smoothing feature under the display preferences that may be an issue and is related to how it extrapolates for the pixels.
