screen capture
I use shift + control + command + 4 a lot.
The default fileformat in my case is .tiff.
I have tried to change it to .png using these setting:

And I have tried to restart, but it does not seem to save the file in png in the clipboard which is what I'm interrested in.
I have a Macbook Pro 15¨ (with touchbar) from 2016. I'm running macOS 10.13.3.
Kind regards,
JJ
Are you using ⌘ Command+⇧ Shift+3 and ⌘ Command+⇧ Shift+4 instead of Grab.app? Grab produces a .tiff file, but the keyboard shortcuts will produce whatever is set in that defaults entry (by default, .png).
@Feanux I was answering your question and then you deleted it but I see you reposted it, anyway I have made a Automator app that does this and will attach a screenshot (that was taken by Automator).
As you can see it takes two screenshots, one for clipboard and one for preview/save
