cmnd - shift - 3 - not a .png

[poohat1000]

anyway to change the default compresssion in screengrabs from .png to .jpg - im fed up with having to re-save in preview everytime to get the file size down

Open up Terminal (it's in your Applications/Utilities folder) and type the following (must be exact, no typos whatsoever) then hit enter:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg

After you've done that, type the following then hit enter:

killall SystemUIServer

Hope this helps.

Also for future reference, the program Onyx can do that without having to type code into Terminal.
