Change clipboard type from TIFF to PNG
2022-12-24 14:55:54
Love the software, except for one thing. I frequently take screen shots, make some edits, and then copy a portion of the image to the clipboard. When I paste into my mail client it is in TIFF format. My windows recipients can't see it. It also makes very large attachments. I'm not sure why it uses TIFF instead of a modern format like PNG, but if it can't be changed, an option would be great. Thanks for the consideration.

The default for your screenshots is set to tiff, if you want png, apple provides the solution.
Here are several of my terminal aliases (I use zsh shell)
togif='defaults write com.apple.screencapture type gif'
toheic='defaults write com.apple.screencapture type heic'
tojpg='defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg'
topdf='defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf'
topng='defaults write com.apple.screencapture type png'
totif='defaults write com.apple.screencapture type tif'
