Importing clear, sharp images

[David Spreadbury]

And why even bring photoshop into the picture? SnagIt will capture and save as PNG directly. That will give you the same quality of captures as what the reader would see on the screen.No additional work required except possible resizing of screens that are larger than the image area of the document.

 SnagIt is up to v12. It has many excellent new features. I consider it an essential tool of my trade. It is remarkably inexpensive for what it does for me every day. I would definitely upgrade.

By the way, I'm using version 7 of SnagIt. Is there any reason in the current or any other context that I should spend the money to get the latest version?

For the PSD images I capture (SnagIt) the thing on the screen to clipboard and copy directly into Photoshop. So the source is definitely good.

Are the PSD documents degraded in PDFs or only on screen in FrameMaker?

If the former, I'd say export to PNG. Resizing in FrameMaker by
changing DPI has no effect on image resolution.
