Question about Grab settings

[sam10685]

When I take a screen shot, it automatically makes it save as a .PNG file with is too big to post on the web in most cases. I was wondering if there's a setting I can adjust to make it default save as a .JPEG image. Thank you!

Edit; I thought I remembered being able to do such a thing in Tiger somewhere but now I am running Leopard and can't find anything.

Here's an article on it along with the command.

I have a AppleScript that can let you change file type along with save destination. It's posted here somewhere if you want to track it down. I believe Onyx also lets you do this.

Onyx! That's the program I had! I couldn't remember...

defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleScreenShotFormat JPEG in Terminal. Or replace JPEG with another image format such as GIF if so desired.
