TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I read lots here on screenshots, and came to the conclusion that there's only so
much you can do to make them look good. Our software has huge screens and must
be scaled. My thoughts, and I was backed up on this, were that they should be a
representation of what users see on-screen, not a duplication. In FrameMaker, I
could resize and have no quality loss - but we're using Word. And ForeHelp for
the Help files.
I've now got someone saying that wmf will have no quality loss, which makes
sense because it's a vector format. But I don't get any better results when
scaling these than for BMPs (plus I'm sure I must have tried this early on and
come to this conclusion).
Any knowledge on this?
thanx
