TinkerTool for Jaguar won't let you change the default screenshot format.

Good tip -- I haven't used GraphicConverter since OS 7.5, but it was great then

And there's always lemkesoft's GraphicConverter, which can change just about any format to any other format. Cheap, and it's been around just about forever (meaning that it's been thoroughly debugged). |

If you don't mind the command line there's also
apt-get install imagemagick
which lets you check, convert and do batch transformation on almost any file format known to man, using the commands "identify", "convert" and "mogrify". So:
convert fred.pdf jim.png
You can do automatic resizing, colour changing, cropping and all that jazz too. There's a "display" front end too, but that's in X-Windows. It's may a bit fiddly for what you need here. If you ever need batch stuff doing, though, it's the bees knees. I have a program which just looks in a folder and converts whatever's there into PNG format, then crushes the hell out of it.

Also, you can always open the PDF in Preview.app and then export to JPG/TIFF/whatever.
I agree it's kind of weird, although when you take a screenshot of a multiscreen system, you at least get each screen on a different PDF "page". :)

Correction! He does have a version of Tinkertool that works with the developer version of Jaguar - I would assume that means a final is due when Jaguar hits the streets...

Hey, Cory - You can change the default filetype that OS X does screencaptures with using the free Preference Pane Tinkertool. It also can access a bunch of very helpful hidden OS X preferences... very useful. Get it at versiontracker, or from the developer's site. Edit: Crap. My brain conveniently forgot the magic word "Jaguar". Hopefully the developer gets this working on Jaguar...
