jriskin - you are correct. Earlier versions of OS X allowed you to choose various formats for saving screenshots, but it has since been removed... nobody really knows why.

If I had to guess...

If I had to take a guess at why, the only thing that makes logical sense to me is that maybe some Apple coder used GPL'ed source code or maybe used code they thought was LGPL or similar and then had to take it out when they went through the code and realized their mistake.

Otherwise it doesn't make a lot of sense to remove such a harmless yet useful piece of functionality that was working well!
