[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1748673, member: 234411"] Hello [B]M_Six[/B] - if you need to change just a few .PNG screen captures to .JPG, then the images can be brought into [I]Preview[/I] and saved in a different format. For a universal change, you can go into the 'terminal' - I was not sure about the exact command, but take a look [URL="https://www.lifewire.com/change-location-and-file-format-for-mac-screenshots-2260844"]HERE[/URL] - both format & locations changes are discussed. Let us know if this helps. Now for those wondering about the two image formats (and several others), see the chart from the web below - the .PNG allows lossless compression and also provides for transparency and translucency; for those interested, see this [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics"]Wiki Article[/URL] - Dave :) .
