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. :)

I just bring screenshots up in Preview and save them as smaller files,
so that's an option if you don't want to use Automator.

That's usually what I do as well. And if I am doing it a lot, I use AppleScript or Automator to automated it.

Instead of the fully automated script I quoted before, I would likely have >> a System Service set so any image I want can be resized to 1/2 resolution. >> I am not on retina so no need here.
I'd make it a service too, since that would let you simply right-click the image(s) on the desktop to resize them. I've written image conversion
folder actions in the past as well.

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.

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.

Easily resized via Preview|Tools.

Is there a way to resize in memory without saving as files? Like always
set 50% of the screen captures I take? I usually screen capture and then paste directly into Word 2011 documents.

Nope. You'll have to take a screen shot to a file and resize it. Again,
this can easily be automated with tools built into OS X.
BTW, I'm not sure what your reasoning is behind pasting graphics into
Word documents; but you should know you may very well be making life
harder than need be for whoever you happen to be sending these Word
files to. Word screws up images pasted into Word documents such that it
is often impossible to get anything but a low-resolution copy of the
image out of the document, which can be especially bad if there is text
or other fine details in the image that someone needs to be able to read easily. I hope you aren't using Word needlessly for this purpose.

I've encountered it in the professional graphics and printing industry
as well as in the software/hardware tech industry - both places where
you might think people would know better. : D

No temporary files manual method: hold down the Contol key while taking
the screenshot and it goes to the clipboard. Preview has a "New from Clipboard" command, then resize, then you can copy and paste from

I do this rarely enough that I haven't bothered trying to automate it.
BTW, I'm not sure what your reasoning is behind pasting graphics into
Word documents; but you should know you may very well be making life
harder than need be for whoever you happen to be sending these Word
files to. Word screws up images pasted into Word documents such that it
is often impossible to get anything but a low-resolution copy of the
image out of the document, which can be especially bad if there is text
or other fine details in the image that someone needs to be able to read
easily. I hope you aren't using Word needlessly for this purpose.
Why does this not surprise me?
(To my great relief, I have never needed to use Microsoft Office enough
to bother learning its idiosyncracies.)

I mostly have to support people who do more than use it myself. When I
need a quick rich text document, I reach for TextEdit more often than
not.

If you just want to share them online, why do they need to be in a
document? Just use one of the many ways to upload and annotate images
on a web page.

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.
There is also SnapNDrag from YellowMug Software.
Why not just use GraphicConverter: cmd-Y, 50%, <enter>?

Easily resized via Preview|Tools.
Is there a way to resize in memory without saving as files? Like always
set 50% of the screen captures I take? I usually screen capture and then paste directly into Word 2011 documents.

Nope. You'll have to take a screen shot to a file and resize it. Again,
this can easily be automated with tools built into OS X.

I use Control-Command-Shift-n to capture to the clipboard any time I
just want to paste a screen shot into a document. And the Preview "New
from Clipboard" command is the default "New Document" command; so Control-Command-Shift-4, launch Preview, Command-N does the trick. I've
used that as well off an on through the years, but it didn't occur to me
when I initially answered.

I probably glossed over that in the past as I became familiar with OS X.
I typically (almost always) Shift-CMD-4 and it's popped into
downloads, and that's it. Good enough. So I never improved on the
matter. I like what you suggest even more (occasionally screenshot
stuff to message off to someone).

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

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.

Not that I know of, but it would be nifty if there was an option for
Screen Capture to open the image in Preview before writing the file.
That would satisfy your need above. (But being good Unix programmers,
Apple engineers would probably write the temp copy to disk before
invoking Preview - so would come to the same thing...)
As to managing screenshots written to disk, I typically write them to
the download folder and then use them (and edit them from there). I
cleanup the download folder regularly so that's a good place to keep
them. (The default is the desktop but that's easily changed).
My screenshots, almost always Cmd-Shift-4, gets saved into DropBox,
which provides a quick way to link to a photo. precisely 11:16:13 PM PST

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.

<http://jollyroger.kicks-ass.org/images/>
(The standard list looks much more generic, but with some HTML/CSS you
can customize the look of it as I did above.)

Nope. If you want it to be portable to any platform, print/export it to
PDF, or better yet put it on a web page.

photos (people who have Word but not web access? people who need a
printable document? etc.), and other details about this project.
