There seems to be some confusing on the use of the term adding resolution
when referring to images.
Resolution is simply a measure of the amount of pixels (X/Y counts) and a
pixel-per-inch (ppi) setting. Resolution CAN be increased--period. This is
typically done in a program like Photoshop.

Note that with SnagIt you can opt to capture the image at other
resolutions, so you need not change anything in FM. I capture images
as 200dpi TIFFs, and then import them at 200dpi in my books. I go to
print, PDF, and online help from a single set of screenshots.
I don't think I've seen a mention about the variation of screen-pixel

How can SnagIt capture an image at a higher resolution than what the screen
is set to? A 20 screen at 1280 x 1024, for example, is 96 DPI. How do you
get 200 DPI out of that?
Screen size (20) is meaningless, only the monitor resolution counts.

Hi Pete,
I would strongly concur and reiterate what others have said about NOT
using JPG for screen captures. It is considered a lossy format and
introduces all kinds of artifacts into the image.

than 256 colors. It

If capturing display boxes, you cannot control how many PPI there are as
they are programs in at X number of pixels by Y number of pixels. Resolution

By choosing 150dpi you are reducing the print size of the image. In
other words you are scaling the picture to make it smaller

Pete...
Several important rules of thumb here:
1. Never save screen shots as jpg files, especially highly-compressed
ones! They will not look nearly as good as *.bmp files. JPEG
compression will soften the images so that they don't look real, like
they do on the screen when viewed directly.

So a question is what format, JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF saves the cleanest picture?
Personally, I would not use JPEG as it tends to artifact round the type,
making the image harder to read.
PNG or TIFF would be my first choices, GIF as a third choice depending on
the required color depth.
