Blurry screenshots after emailed I've read every other post about this, but none were a fix. I do shift-command-4 add to desktop then either drag or insert the file to my email in "Mail". A ctr-shift-command-4 sends it to clipboard; that doesn't work either. If I send it out to myself or to someone else, neither can read it. Too blurry. Frustrated that I'm the only one having this problem

What happens when the screen shot transfers to a file too small to send in an email? Can anyone tell me how to fix the screenshot image from being TOO Small!

Delay after taking screenshot - how to turn off? Already did this million of times. I am taking the screenshot to be saved on the desktop. Always when I do it, I want to attach the file to email or wherever else. But the file is not there yet, because there is some strange delay between taking a screenshot and the file appearing in chosen folder. When you take several screenshots and you want to do certain things fast you can't - you need to wait, and the wait is some minutes daily when doing many screenshots. How to turn this delay off?
