BTW, you can also use the TIFF format doing it this way (as Bill Briggs
suggests), but the output file can be large (my test PDF 444 KB : output
tiff 2.5 MB):
do shell script "screencapture -S ~/Desktop/screengrab.pdf ; sips -s format
tiff ~/Desktop/screengrab.pdf --out ~/Desktop/screengrab.tif"
Perhaps, someone on the list can suggest a CLI or AS method for LZW
compressing that output tiff?

one can script the capture of the window to the clipboard.
I wrote a script a while ago for capturing
screenshots. It beats pressing all those keys at
the same time.
do shell script "screencapture -ic" . The clipboard has a tiff file
The funny thing is, I have no man entry for screencapture.
I know it was supposed to be there.
I've used it.
Anybody else with this problem ?
