Tutorial: How to create a Hi-Res screenshot

Most of the time when you have to present screenshots for printing in a book or journal the standard resolution will not match the requirements supplied by the printer. The normal screen resolution is 72 or 96 DPI while allmost any professional printing press will require at least 300 DPI. Just resizing the images will make them fuzzy and blurry.

This tutorial explains how to create a sharp and hi-resolution screenshot on the CELSTEC MediaLab video-editing computer (room Chi 1.35) using SnagIt 8 and an old version of Photoshop.
