I couldn't figure out how to get the resolution to change without also
changing my width and height. Thanks for telling me "None" as that
appears
to work for me.
Also I use the GIMP to save it in the exact size I want so I don't
have to
scale using \includegraphics[scale=a.bc]. I am saving as PNG images.
My final book PDF is probably going to grow from less than 10MB to
over
100MB due to the new PNGs, but I think my printer will accept that.
Actually, you'll get better quality if you _don't_ resample the
images, but instead, merely set them to the desired physical print size.
Turning on the direct interpolation key when saving them as a .eps
or .pdf will help w/ some RIPs as well, but I don't know if GIMP can
do that.
At any rate, you'll need to tell the printer that they should accept
the probably low-resolution images
That said, the best option is re-creating or re-drawing the
screengrabs so that they're resolution independent or can be
rendered / scanned at print resolution --- Michael Harvey did the
latter for his book _Creative Lettering_.
