Why you get TIFF when pasting to your AppĬoming out of the clipboard, you've got two ways to go - PNG or TIFF. Could hold multiple pages as a single document like a PDF.It was an attempt to standardize scanned (and faxed) documents into a single high quality file format.Acquired by Adobe in 1996 for desktop publishing.It was designed for transferring images over the network/Internet. PNG (Portable Network Graphic) was to be a replacement for the GIF format.In other words, they can make the images much smaller than their RAW format without losing an ounce of quality.Īpple chose PNG as it's default and I can only speculate as to why. The very short answer is both are image formats that support lossless compression. How it gets saved (when Screen Capture writes it to disk), the clipboard simply doesn't care if you use a high quality format like PNG or TIFF or a lossy format like JPEG or PDF basically, you chose it, you'll get it. Now, your clipboard stores images as a RAW format so it can preserve every single detail. Once Screen Capture "hands over" bitmap to the clipboard, it's work is done. Why? Well, you're going directly from your clipboard to pasting an inline image into a mail message. However, the issue here isn't what Screen Capture is capable of handling, it what your clipboard is capable of. Screen capture can obviously support more than these two file formats obviously it supports GIF and JPEG/JPG, but it also supports PDF. It Has to do with the Clipboard not Screen Capture
