Automating screenshot workflow I am looking for a way to launch Preview on my Mac automatically, whenever I take a screenshot to my clipboard. I use "cmd + shift + 4" most of the times, then open preview, then hit "cmd+n" which accomplishes what I'm after, but is just time-consuming.
I have looked around but haven't found an option to do this with Automator. I'm not sure if it's even possible that Automator 'monitors' the clipboard and whenever it receives a screenshot, could trigger Preview.

Any help is much appreciated!
If you open /System/Applications/Utilities/Screenshot.app, you will be given the option to choose where your screenshot goes.    You can select for the screenshot to automatically open in Preview.



Now anytime you use your keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot,  the default action would be to open the screenshot in Preview.
