Sorry, I guess it's a little more complicated. Here's what I did (I looked it up with Google to remind me):

In Mac OS X 10.4 and later, the default screenshot format can be changed, by opening Terminal (located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and typing in:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type [image_format]
killall SystemUIServer

For "image_format" type jpg and eliminate the brackets. If that doesn't work, try .jpg (with the period)
