Well I went and took a screen shot with the Gimp, on my system this turned out close to 100dpi each way, though not exactly. http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/opendocux100dpi.jpg (61 Kbs) Then in the Gimp, I did an image rescale, 300dpi each way and increased the width and height by 3 times http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/opendocux300dpi.jpg (202 Kbytes) Next I took my camera, a 3 Megapixel canon and took a shot of the screen and cut the relevant bit out here http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/opendocuCamera.jpg (295 Kbytes) An lastly I put them all into a Scribus document and made a pdf http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/screenshots.pdf (602KBytes) Taking photos of screens with a camera needs a bit of work, but as far as I can tell, the original 100dpi screenshot out of the Gimp is as good as anything else Owen
