Hi John,
I just checked and the registry fix from Parrain works, but only on a newly defined profile (which then appears in "my profiles"). The standard profiles seem to be "immune", i.e. changes will be discarded. (Note that user profiles will get a cryptic key name in the registry, consisting of 32 alphanumeric characters, and not the name you have given the profile.) I saw another key "DPI", which I also set from 96 (dec) to 300 (dec). As a result of all this, my profile now produces images with 300 dpi preset. This does not increase the amount of pixels, of course, it will only change (reduce) the resulting layout size in a DTP program. Normally, I would use a Photoshop actions batch for this. No need to change it in Snagit for me. Best regards -- Tino H.
