Can you clarify your question. When you use the keyboard to make a screen capture, it usually comes out as a .pic

I guess you're talking about 9, right?

Whenever I make a screenshot, it comes as a .pdf to my desktop, I'd like to change the default to let's say .jpg

Have you checked out the ToolBox? Your utilities folder> Grab. Grab will save the screen capture in .tiff

If you want to change that to a jpg, use Graphic Converter (shareware - you can find it at versiontracker.com) Then you can save as and select .jpg

Thanks, I have Photoshop, and I just need to be able to enter the command-shift-4 code and have it in the .jpg or .gif extension.. I thought there could have been a hack or something. Thanks!

You could also use the Preview app to open the PDF and then save it in any number of formats.
