 Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2004 6:48 am Post subject: ScreenShot to print manual ? |
 |
|
Hi there, I am looking for some guidance here...
I am trying to put together a printed user manual for some software we have developed.
My problem is that all print screen programs seem to capture at 72dpi. Although this is all fine and dandy for web presentations, the print brochure would need to be at about 200/300 dpi.
Any idea of programs or ways to increase a screenshot without it pixelating ?
any help would be great - thank you !
Have a ding-dong day !

I've run into that problem before too. If you crank the resolution way up on your monitor, you can get a much larger picture. I can only get my screen to be about 4.25 by 3.5 inches at 300 dpi though. I can get it to be 6.4 by 5.1 at 200 dpi. That may be large enough for a brochure. I've never seen a program that will capture anything at high resolutions though.

Don't worry about it, all screengrabs are always printed at native screen resolution 72/96 it's standard practice and will look fine.
