Need Help - Improving Resolution from Print Screen

Maybe someone can help me. I've been importing images
into PP using the
Print Screen function of my computer. But I'm limited to
the 72 DPI
resolution that one gets with the Print Screen function.
That means that
when I project the image it pixilates very badly.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,

Peter

It's not 72dpi, but it's a fixed number of pixels. But if you have a full
screen image on a system running at the same resolution you'll eventually
project at, it should work out ok. Unless you enlarge the image later.

Please describe the exact process you're following to capture screens and add
them to PPT. That may help.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the response to my question. Here's the
process I've been following. I import a Print Screen
image with text into a PP slide - I then enlarge sections
using the Custom Animation "grow/shrink"option. The
enlarged text becomes highly pixilated and difficult to
read.

My theory is that if I were able to capture the image at a
higher resolution - the enlarged image wouldn't
deteriorate so much.

Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks,

Peter

True. If you have no other option but print screen captures, try setting your
computer's video display to the highest resolution it's capable of before doing
the captures.

But you don't mention what you're trying to capture. Perhaps there's another
way ... a File, Save As or Export function from the other software?

Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks,

Peter
