How to save screenshots in Mac OSX and save it in PHOTOS app

Hi


I have an iPad Pro and everytime I take a screenshot it goes automatically to the PHOTOS app. This is very good since I can edit then.


However I work with a new Macbook 12" and taking screenshots go directly to the desktop and here is the need: to have all the screenshots in the same place, so using iCloud in PHOTOS I can access all the screenshots taken in the Mac and see and edit then in the iPad Pro in PHOTOS.


How can I save screenshots in Mac OSX and save it in PHOTOS app for further editing in the iPad Pro?


Regards!

MacBook, iOS 10.3.2, New MacBook 2016

Macjack's advice (the first post) is part of the solution: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/06/15/how-to-change-where-screenshots-are-save d-on-mac/


Use the procedure to save screenshots to a particular folder.

Then add a folder action to this folder, that will automatically import any photo added to this folder to Photos.
