3) PDF Screenshots

Yes the ketstrokes produce PDFs of the screenshots, but converting them is quick and easy with Preview.app. Double-click the screenshot icon...it opens in Preview. Go to File>Export and pick your favorite format.

Screenshot pre-jaguar were TIFs and I think changing them to PDFs was a good move be apple.

Re: 3) PDF Screenshots

About Silk:

I checked... still useful in Carracho, for example. So it'll stay on my system, I think, unless someone else tell me it's obsolete.

About the screenshots:

Yes, PDF is fine. But the screenshots I take are for the Web, for mailing them, attaching them, etc. I don't want my PC friends to open Acrobat to read these pictures, and I'd like browsers to open them ! So that's what I call a good move, but please Apple finish your good move and add a Finder preference: screenshot file format (JPEG/GIF/TIFF/EPS/PDF)

And there we are.

Sreenshots...

At least Apple make a file and saves it from a screenshot winblows forces you to figure out what application you need to open to paste it into.

If you want the browser to open them then export the screenshots as something else (JPG/GIF/PNG/TIF...) with Preview...it's not hard...

I agree it's not hard, holmBrew, but understand it's a silly thing to do ten times per day as I have to. Plus, it wouldn't be very difficult for Apple to support other formats.

I'll be losing vast amounts of times with this new PDF screenshot... too bad for me I guess / unless someone brilliant programs a small utility that converts PDF to any picture format you indicated to the program before. That would be a fast solution.

Yep. But Snapz Pro would be fine, then. I'd like a haxie that automatically makes my Command/Shift/3 or 4 snapz a TIFF file, for example. But I guess I'm too demanding. Thx for the link, anyway !
