I want to be able to redirect the screen shots I take on my Mac directly to my photos gallery (library-is that the proper name?). Within my finder somewhere, can I make a shortcut to that location? ---

The shortcut “Save Screenshot to Photos” will perform a screenshot and save it to photos. Here is a download [link to the shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b64393d6b0aa4804b60fff691ca38eca). You can launch this with “Siri, save screenshot to photos” or by typing the same to the Siri window on your Mac. So sorry nobody in the community answered your query after 4 weeks! ---
