Mail is changing the size of my screen shots

I work remotely, and so I rely a lot on snapping screen shots (via Shift-command-4) of what I'm seeing, then attaching them to emails, to communicate with colleagues and students. I've recently been made aware, however, that my screen shots are coming through too small to be read.
What seems to happen is this:
- I snap a screen shot of some portion of my screen.
- If I preview this file using the spacebar, or double click on it to open it in Preview, it opens at 100% of the original size.
- If I attach the screen shot to a mail message, first it gets pasted in as an in-line image (annoying) at a small percentage of the original. Then if the recipient double clicks on it, it opens (in Preview if they have a Mac)... at the same scaled-down size as the in-line image from the mail.
- Attempting to increase the size of this image simply results in a pixelated mess.
This is true even if I go to an item in my "Sent" folder and open the image I've attached to a message.
Help!

I am having the same problem as Shelia all of a sudden. This is only recently.  I take a lot of screen shots to use in many different ways, sometimes to attach to email, sometimes just for my own reference. What is going on??? Why are my screen shots all of a sudden coming out teensy?

  • Changing the Size of A screen at runtime

    Is it possible to change the size of a screen , just before it is called, or to move it it after it has been called.
    Bascally I'm using
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SIM_TEST' starting new task 'PDF Spools'
    to create a new screen asynchronously, in a new session, and want the user to be aware that the older session is still there?
    Thanks.

    you can use CALL SCREEN 2009 STARTING AT x-cor y-cor ENDIGN AT x-cor y-cor to put the screen. You can change x and y coordinates.

  • How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?

    How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?
    Thanks.

    Do you mean you want it saved with the resolution set to something other than 72 dpi when the capture is made, or do you mean you want your capture saved at a higher resolution than the captured area?
    1) If the first, there are ways to change the default capture format .png to something else, such as .jpg, .tif and a few others, but as far as I know, the resolution will always be 72 dpi. You can use Preview to change the resolution of the captured image under Tools > Adjust Size. You will get this:
    If your intention is to set the resolution for professional printing defaults, then change the resolution to 300. Turn off Resample image to prevent the image from actually having more pixels added. The resolution will simply be reset from 72 to 300 dpi without changing the actual number of pixels in the image. It will also print a lot smaller since the output device will now use 300 pixels per linear inch instead of 72.
    Leave Resample image on if you need to maintain the dimensions. Be aware however that scaling the image (resampling) will add a lot more pixels to the image than are there to maintain size. Expect the image to get very soft and pixelated looking when adding 417% more data to the image than it currently has.
    2) If you mean you want the OS to actually save the captured area as a high resolution image at size, that can't happen. A capture is a 1:1 grab of the display buffer. It can only capture what's there. So if you capture a 700 pixel x 500 pixel area, that's all the bigger it can be without scaling it afterwards.

  • How do u change the size or your screen? example (100%, 83% etc)

    my mouse changes the size of the screen,,it is super touchy, so I need to know how to change the screen size back to 100% on firefox. I used google chrome before, and it had a little wrench to go under to adjust screen size. I just need to know where I need to go to readjust my screen size until I can get my mouse settings to where they are not so touchy. Thank you.,,Shannon

    Hi ShannonMA,
    Have you tried using the zoom feature? You can hit ''CTRL and +'' to zoom in and ''CTRL and -'' to zoom out. You can also find zoom under ''View > Zoom''.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

    I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

    You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.

  • Switcher ?Can you change the size of the screen resolution on the Macbook?

    I'm really interested in buying a Macbook. This will be my first Mac. I love the way they look and feel. I'm concerned with the size of everything on the Macbook. The overall size of the fonts in applications such as word, or safari was too small for me.
    Can you change the size of the screen resolution in OSX like you can on Windows? In Windows doing this makes everything visually bigger.
    Please say you can. I'm really wanting the Macbook as it would be great for for a student like me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive soon.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive White soon.

    With an LCD, if you change the resolution, things will be bigger, but blurrier.
    You can however keep the resolution of the LCD at its native resolution, giving the maximum picture quality, and then use tools, such as Tinkertool…

    Hello! I have Adobe Flash Player 11.3.31.232 As I can change the size of video (the size of the screen, a window) during viewing of rollers or films from the Internet? And whether there is a possibility to change the size of a window of a player during video viewings in public networks and dating sites? On your sites, unfortunately I couldn't find information necessary to me.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Everything on all the webpages are so small, and only take up half the screen. How can I make it bigger, without changing the settings on my computer and by that change the size of everything on my computer.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • HT6030 In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer.

    In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer because they are no longer unread.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)

  • Bookmarks opens in a window 2/3's the size of my screen since the latest update. Now the first bookmark I scroll over covers the whole window instead of too the side and I can't close it without closing the bookmarks window

    I kept getting a reminder I had a Firefox update I needed to install. I did last night but never opened Firefox again till this morning. Now when I click on bookmarks for the drop down it opens a window almost 2/3's the size of my screen instead of the narrow window it has in the past. Now as soon as I move my mouse over or close to any bookmark it opens up that bookmark in the window and I can't access the bookmark I want. I have to close the whole window and then be very careful as I move my mouse to the correct bookmark. In the past with the narrow window it opened the bookmarks to the side and only after you clicked on them. I have tried to resize the window but can't find any option to do so. Also couldn't find an option that would let me change it so a bookmark had to be clicked on. If this can't be changed I will be removing Firefox. This is too inconvenient for me.

    Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first  year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
    Good luck.
