Screen Shot file format

Is there any way to change the default screen capture file format from .png to something like .jpg?

In addition to what Niel suggested, you could use a program called Deeper that offers you a GUI interface to change not just screenshots, but many other aspects of OS X. It's available from Apple Downloads as well as from places like versiontracker.com.

  • Where Awesome screen shot files are saved

    I want to know where to find my screen shot file?

    Nalin probably means the Safari extension Awesome Screenshot.
    When you make a screenshot from a webpage, a page should appear with a message like this:
    Congrats! Here is your screenshot.
    But perhaps the extension isn't working well anymore.

  • Change date/time format in Screen Shot file name?

    I capture Screen Shots all day long.  But when I go to look for the one I just took, it's not always at the bottom of the list.  That's because Mac names them as e.g.
    Screen Shot 2014-04-29 at 1.19.04 PM.png (and the order gets screwed up).
    Can I change to make save as e.g.
    Screen Shot 2014-04-29 at 13.19.04.png (this way they'll always stay in order).
    Thanks for any help.

    You may have to change system time format globally. Is it worth ?

  • Screen Capture (Screen Shot) file default

    The screen capture hidden shortcut using command, shift 4 keys creates an image in the png file format. Is there a way of changing that default to jpg format so I don't have to convert each time in Preview?

    Someone will come along in a minute and offer you the unix code to do so, but if you prefer a program that can do it for you, download Deeper (search at macupdate.com or versiontracker.com). Deeper gives you control over file type and default save location for screenshots, as well as all kinds of other (safe) tweaks you can do to the Mac OS.

  • Screen Capture File Format

    Does anyone know a way to change the default file format in the Mac OS screen capture utility to a different format other than PNG? Thanks.

    There are two default screen capture mechanisms in Leopard:
    The direct ⌘ shortcut, and the application, grab.
    I presume you are referring to the ⌘ shortcuts since the default for grab is tiff
    ⌘-Shift-3 = Screen
    ⌘-Shift-4 = Selection
    ⌘-Shift-4 + Spacebar = Window
    To change the format, in a terminal enter
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture type image_format
    where "image_format" can be
    tiff
    jpg
    pdf
    and possibly others.
    When using the terminal, you are on your own and if you are unfamiliar with it, be very careful.

  • Screen Capture (file format) used to be pdf

    Is there a way to change the default file format for a screen capture. The file format in OS 10.3 used to capture as a PDF. Now the format is PNG. I know you can open the file in preview and resave it.
    I just want to see if there is someway to change preferences or something so it will default as a pdf file.
    thanks

    Hi, amantia and costicladop —
    amantia, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are various options to accomplish your objective.
    OnyX 1.6.5 (a free utility) and Cocktail 3.6.5 ($14.95 shareware utility) offer the option to change graphic file format with a "single click" — in OnyX »» Appearance »» Screen Capture and Cocktail »» Interface »» Misc. »» Screenshot file format, respectively.
    They're both just implementing Terminal commands — which provide another option.
    bmp, gif, jpg, jpg-2000, pdf, photoshop, pict, png, sgi, tga, and tiff options are available in both utilities.
    Hope this helps . . .
    Regards,
    Dean
    p.s.  costicladop — following your link engages an automatic download. (Duh.) Wanting to read something first, I went to http://www.arenasoftware.com/ — which forwards to http://www.digitalarena.co.nz/. The software page on that site only mentions three software products, none of which is shotChoice. Could you provide a descriptive link? Thanks!

  • Screen shot file time is wrong

    I've taken a few screen shots in the past couple of days. I'm noticing that the time on the file is wrong for all of them. For example, I take a screen shot at 11:30 a.m., and the file, saved on the desktop, shows that the screen shot was taken at 3:03 a.m. The computer time is accurate, however. Anyone have any idea why this might be and how I might correct it?

    Anybody?

  • Can't find my screen shots that use to show up on the desktop

    Hello all.
    Since installing the new update of 10.4.4 when I take a screen shot with either the apple+ shift+ 3 or +4 the camera shutter sounds but the file is not to be found ? any help ?
    thanks.

    Hey Guys,
    I was having the same problem and even though none of you mention having used a utility like Tinker Tools or Onyx to modify the screenshot file type, that's exactly what was causing the problem for me.
    I'd used Tinker Tools to change the screenshot to a .psd - resetting everything back to the default settings (in Tinker Tool) and then logging out and back in again repaired the problem... in so much as the screen shots work again (the are .pngs again) and appear on the desktop as they should.
    If you've used TT or Onyx (or some other method) to change your screen shot file format you may want to enable invisible items in the finder and delete all the 'misfires' that have been created there - I found quite a few invisible (broken) screen shots on my desktop with names like: .Picture 1.psd-shytk and .Picture 1.psd-hdfl (all with random junk at the end of the file name).
    Hope this helps out.

  • Screen Shot is two files in Lion

    I upgraded my iMac on the first day from SL to Lion. All worked fine except the normal keyboard  (command-shift-3) which produces two files on the desktop:  first is a cosmological picture, perhaps derived from screensaver,  second is the correct screen shot.  Both have the same file name but first has (2) added.
    From terminal, "screenshot"is correct.  Use of "grab" is correct.  I have set System Preferences of "Keyboard" to default, deleted all preferences I can think of.      What can I try next?

    Charlie,
    I have proved that the problem is caused by the erroneous VGA display.
    In System Preferences for Display, I have mirrored the two displays and made them both nearly the same resolution: iMac 1920x1200 and VGA 1920x1440.  There is now only one screen shot file. Hurrah! 
    This configuration is usable but I would prefer to get rid of the VGA, which is consistently in the "System Information Report" and Preferences.
    Patrick Ellis,
    I have done as you suggested and removed 4 files:
    com.apple.preference.displays2….plist     &   .plist.lockfile
    com.apple.windowserver….plist     &   .plist.lockfile
    After reboot and use of System Preferences they have not returned. BUT neither has the VGA gone away.
    I have looked throughout the system files but so far have found no reference to VGA and have no idea how to get rid of it.
    Any more ideas anyone?

  • X11 for G5/PPC problems incl screen shots

    Hello:  Most x11 on Leopard questions have been archived, so you can't add to them.
    Please note I'm talking about x11 on G5 ppc hardware, so one is limited to OS10.5  and xquartz 2.6.1
    (I don't think snow leopard 10.6 runs on G5 ppc, and I don't think xquartz 2.6.2, the current, will run under 10.5.)
    There are problems on this x11/OS combo, running software on the remote linux machine and displaying locally on my mac running the xquartz.
    Gimp running on the remote linux machine can no longer do screen shots (File> Acquire>screen shot for just a single window) after the OS and xquartz upgrade from 10.4.  Gimp acquires only  the upper 20% of the screen or so, repeated in a mosaic.
    The error messages on the remote machine are lots of errors like this:
    X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) 4
      Major opcode:  54
      Minor opcode:  0
      Resource id:  0x1600bbe
    I have had sys admin look over the obvious stuff, the x connections all seem fine. 
    I have tried this connecting with both ssh -Y and ssh -X
    Any/All suggestions welcome, thank you.   
    -BTP
    PowerPC G5 / OS10.5.8
    Xquartz 2.61

    What happens when you run gimp on the G5 itself, rather than SSH-ing to another machine?
    Also, when you do security updates, they have a tendency to clobber some of the updated X11 files, so you might benefit from reinstalling.

  • Hey Gurus I've just shot a seminar, three cameras, Cannon's reasonably new XA20HD's. File format 1920X1080 MP4 17mbs 25 frames. Am running PremProCS6. I import the files into Prem, they come in ok but will not display. Got a yellow bar and a yellow Media

    Hey Gurus I've just shot a seminar, three cameras, Cannon's reasonably new XA20HD's. File format 1920X1080 MP4 17mbs 25 frames. Am running PremProCS6. I import the files into Prem, they come in ok but will not display. Got a yellow bar and a yellow Media Pending screen. What the? Have to cut this stuff soon! Wont even import into Media Encoder. Says there are no usable streams in the media! Just saw a podcast title about stress in the editing business. Better listen to the one! Any help would be most appreciated. J.

    Copy ALL contents of SD card to a folder on edit hard drive. not just video clips, everything. Then in Premiere, import using Media Browser (tab at lower left of Premiere screen). This usually does the trick. There is metadata contained in the SD card files that is needed, not just the video clips alone.
    Thanks

  • How To Save Screen Shot Photo From iPAD to JPEG FORMAT

    How To Save Screen Shot Photo From iPAD to JPEG FORMAT

    The "iPad format" is PNG (which is better quality than JPEG).
    There is no way to choose JPEG at the moment of taking the screen shot. You will need to convert the file using conversion software, probably on your computer. Google "convert PNG to JPEG".

  • Use SkyDrive to upload collected files and post screen shot/picture. (Updated: 1/16/2012)

    To help community members troubleshoot issues efficiently, sometimes we need to collect related files (such as Event logs, Network traces, Setup

  • IDOC to FILE scenario With Screen shots

    CAN YOU PLEASE SEND US THE DETAILS OF IDOC to FILE scenario With Screen shots  and do  the needful for me

    Hi Surya,
    I thought i will just share a few basic thoughts that you need to take care while doing an IDOC to File Scenario. Just see if it helps you in anyways.
    While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
    1. You don’t need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
    2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
    3. In this configuration note that you don’t have a sender agreement as you don’t have a sender IDOC adapter.
    If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:
    points 1 and 2 will remain, but the 3 will not. You will need a sender agreement for the file and a receiver agreement for the IDOC.

    File -> IDOC ref:
    <a href="/people/anish.abraham2/blog/2005/12/22/file-to-multiple-idocs-xslt-mapping to IDOC</a>
    To be able to trigger your IDOC from the SAP ISU system, you will have to set the partner profile in we20. Select your Business System (mostly under Logical system) and then create Outbound entries for whichever IDOC you want to trigger.
    You define your basic type also in your partner profile settings, Please go thru the following links to get a better idea about partner profile:
