After a brief hiatus of several months, we met to 'Reboot' our monthly Mac meetings and to 'brainstorm' some possible future topics, as well as discuss questions and issues related to our Apple devices. It was great to meet face-to-face again with real live people (rather than A.I. or internet voices from far away on a 'Help' line).

Yes

3. Press Return
4. Close Terminal
5. Take a screenshot to see the results.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpeg

Note: Original screencapture preference is located here on your Mac:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist
