<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Thanks for this. It was my first time to use Terminal and I wasn't sure what to do after typing the command. I pressed Return, then quit and restarted. I now have .jpg screen captures the easy way (Command-Shift-4). I also wasn't sure whether to use .jpg or just jpg. I did the latter. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Now I'll probably use Snapz Pro X only for movies. I used it a lot capturing news clips during the CA fires last October. I had just sold my Silverado Canyon house 2 months before, so I was very interested in what my buyer and ex-neighbors were going through. I'm thinking of making a slideshow type movie of my 29 years in the canyon and those captures might be interesting at the end.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Shirley<DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Feb 18, 2008, at 12:29 PM, Derek Roff wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 18.0px Helvetica">In Tiger, and I presume in Leopard, you can change (at will) the default format used by OS X for screen captures.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Changing the default requires a single command typed into Terminal.
