High quality images

[Art Campbell]

I use SnagIt, a dedicated screen capture program. Although I save to
.png files, direct saves to EPS and .PDF are supported; I'd pick .PDF
before I'd use EPS....

In either case though, SnagIt saving directly to a file is a cheaper,
quicker method that doesn't require manual work in Photoshop. Or
Photoshop at all, for that matter.

SnagIt also includes a FM menu that makes taking the snap and
integrating... a snap.

Cheers,
Art
