Pasting an Image as a Specific File Type
 
If the Clipboard contains an image, use a command in the Edit → Paste → Paste Image as menu to paste it as specific image file type.
 


Paste the Clipboard’s contents as a specific  image file type .

The Paste command uses your most-recent choice whenever the Clipboard contains an  image.




 
 
By The Way

Why do these image pasting commands exist?  Even if you copy a specific image type to the Clipboard, OS X allows an application to paste that image as any type it chooses.  Unfortunately, OS X doesn’t let an app like NoteBook know which image type you started with.  Without the Paste Image as commands, NoteBook would have to guess which file type you wanted to paste.
