Bug Description
JPG is set as a default format for taking screenshots. That is very wrong, jpeg screenshots are ugly even when being set at maximum quality. Jpeg format is designed for photographs, for computer-generated graphics we have lossless and patent-free PNG. Please promote good formats and good habits. PNG should be set as a default format.
Shutter v0.80.1
Rev.579

jpeg quality is working out fine with our settings, so feel free to set png as the default for yourself. jpegs typically have a smaller filesize than pngs, which makes uploading them and etc. faster.
