How to reduce captured image size without losing resolution?

[RightOar]

Hi all,

I've used RoboScreenCapture extensively in caputring web application screen shots for my webhelp pages. However, I'll be creating another manual soon that will require smaller sized versions of screen shots, both as a preference by my co-workers and to minimize space and topic length. Does anyone know of a good way to accomplish this and still maintain quality images?

I've tried editing and resizing, but the resolution becomes distored.

Thanks!

Hi there

Please do try it out. I'd be interested if you were to try the ReSizer, Visio, Word and SnagIt and post back with what you feel the best approach seems to result in from your view.

That may help others with this question.

Cheers... Rick

You read my mind, Rick. I'd be happy to post my results!

Despite having both PhotoShop and SnagIt, the results were sub-optimal. The final deliverable is a PDF generated from a PowerPoint, and the objective to place the resized screenshot inside a tablet surround. The text worked well when resizing separate images in PowerPoint rather than trying to create a composite one outside and then importing it. PowerPoint seems to handle the screenshot resizing well.
