#32668 — Screen capturing on Retina Macs...

Hello.

I noticed screen capturing on Retina Macs show very high resolutions and 
sizes. Is there a way not to have this big since I copy and paste them 
into documents, e-mails, etc. often?

Thank you in advance. :)

No great way, but found this online and seems like it should work:

Use OsX embedded Automator to downsize screenshots automatically after they
taken.

1. Open /Applications/Automator
2. Create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top of the window, where it says "Folder Action receives file and
folders added to", select "Desktop"
4. From the panel on the left, select "Files & Folders" and drag the item
"Filter Finder Items" to the right panel.
5. Add the following conditions to the Filter Finder Items action: Name
begins with "Screen Shot"; Kind is image.
6. (Optional step: if you want to keep copy of originals) - From the
Actions list on the left, find "Copy Finder Items" and drag it to the panel
on the right. Set the destination folder for the image copy (for example:
"To: Pictures")
7. In the Actions library on the left, click on "Photos" and drag the
"Scale Images" action to the right panel.
8. In the Scale Images action, select "By Percentage" from the drop-down
and set the value to 50.
9. Select File > Save and give the Folder Action a snappy name like
"Smaller Screenshot Copy"

Great idea. I always forget about Folder Actions, though they've existed
since System 7 days.

I use them from time to time... they work better and faster in modern OS X
than they did back on System 7 - and they were pretty cool back then.

I know it's not quite what you're after, but third party screen
capturing utilities have a greater feature set, and many allow one to
choose default and ad hoc settings to save the screenshots. I used to
use Ambrosia Software's years ago.

Why not just use GraphicConverter: cmd-Y, 50%, <enter>?

Because Preview does the same thing for free?

Yup!
There are a whole bunch of ways to make the screen capture. The issue 
for the OP is the file size & resolution. Some software can deal with 
that at capture otherwise the resizing has to be done using one of the 
other methods mentioned.

Yep.  I'm astounded at some of the replies.

Preview has never impressed me. . . But then, I've had GC since the early
90s 8-)

I've used it just about as long. The UI is outdated, but it does a lot -
particularly regarding the support for many different formats.  And it
costs money to keep it updated through the years.

On the other hand, Preview is free, comes pre-installed on all Macs, and
it doesn't have to be impressive to do something as simple as resize an
image. : )

I find I can ignore almost all GC paid updates, unless there's some
feature I'm interested in. Even now I'm still running the old carbon v6,
as it does everything I need, no problems. I expect I'd still be
running... hey, what was the first OS X compatible version? I forget.
But I'd probably still be running it, had v6 not been the latest one
when I moved to OS X full time. Assuming OS X 10.6.8 or earlier hadn't
broken it :-)

I forget the last version I paid for; it's been many years. I'll have to
take a look sometime to see if it will run.

When did you stop bothering to reinstall GC? I couldn't live without it.
It just makes saving to certain file sizes and image resizing so easy.
Not to mention my occasional need to open and save as older or obscure
formats a few times a year.

Apps like Pixelmatir, Affinity Photo, etc provide what I need sufficiently.

It looks like the latest version I have licensed is version 6.x. It
launches without issue on OS X 10.10. I haven't played with it much
beyond that though.

GC does things it didn't used to. I HAVE been updating it. Added a filter
package, too. It and iPhoto let me do most of what my normal fotos need,
since I'm forced to use Pages to make actual pages anyway. Just made a
couple and printed them. Finished product is all right for printing.
