We conducted a little in-house experiment, using several different products
to re-size a screenshot. These included Fullshot, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro
and RoboHelp's re-sizer. Our conclusion: It doesn't make one bit of
difference what you use, re-sizing does bad things to fonts. We do, however,
reccomend Fullshot as our screen capture utility of choice. We worship at
www.fullshot.com on a regular basis. Check it out if you haven't. DB.

Subject: Using RoboHelp's Resize
Happy Neue Yahr people. Anyone had success using the ROBOHelp Tool
"Resize?"
I was recently constrained to capture some dialog boxes, menus, and so on
using Paint Shop Pro's capture window function for a manual residing in
WORD 97. Using the
images full size when translating to HTMLHelp, some images seem too big
and other re-sizing methods I have used make the fonts unreadable.
Off topic: anyone seen the book "Thinking on Paper," by some people
affliated with Harvard? I like this book methinks.
