Resizing Screen Shots for Print

Hello,
I have been tasked with capturing screen shots in order to print them in a manual. I used PrtScr and saved them as a .TIFF. I know there are problems with this kind of printing, and I was hoping to learn the "right way" since I will have to do this quite often.
I have read in profession book and magazine printing articles that they re-create the screen shot because screen shots just don't print well, so I am not expecting miracles. I just want to get a process in place so these screen shots can look the best they can without re-drawing them or something.
So when I opened the screen shots in Photoshop they are 96dpi and the pixel dimensions are 1122x871. I would like to reduce the pixel dimensions by 1/3 as they are too large, and increase the resolution, but I am pretty sure that won't do much. Plus the screen shot looks blurry and unsharp mask doesn't fix it much.
Any help with this process would be appreciated.

To me it seems a screen shot at 1100+ pixels and printed in a small manual could end up with the user interface elements printing so small that they could be difficult to see in the final print.  As an example, consider how big the menu being shown will be a print at, say, 4.5" width of both of these screens:
Some other things to consider:
Along the same lines as the above, you might want to turn up the Windows display scale factor.  Windows 7 provides settings in the Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display dialog.  At 150% the characters and UI elements are made up of more pixels.
Consider also turning off ClearType font smoothing as these will only make the letters in prints seem fringed with color - not normally a good visual.

  • Other than screen shots, for printing purposes, I want text and photo on jpeg or .tiff formats? The printer only accepts jpeg and tiff and can't use screenshots.

    I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
    Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
    Why?

    Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
    BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

  • Resizing  Screen Resolution for Specific Apps?

    Hello team,
    Is it possible to resize screen resolution for specific applications? Most of my apps look fine at 1024x768, but there are a couple of older OS 9 apps that I need to run (talking school computers here) which are a bit on the small side when viewed at that resolution. Can I somehow set things so that when those applications are launched, the resolution changes to 800x600, and then reverts to 1024x768 when they're quit again? Any and all details about this will be most appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help!
    Electronically yours,

    LCD panels must be used at their native resolution. Whatever it is for you monitor is what you must set it to.

  • Resizing a photo for printing

    I am trying to resize a photo for printing to a 8x10 as it still crops off the top and bottom when printing. I took this with my D3100. How can I do this? I have tried printing several times.

    Your image does not fit the 8x10 format - so it will always crop - probably not what you wanted to hear. But a couple of solutions for you:
    Print the image on a larger paper so that it will fit, you will end up with a border - but will fit or
    Resize the image in Photoshop - Image/Size to something like 9" high, that will automatically reduce the width of your image, but you will still end up with a border, but the whole image wil be there
    Hope this helps, and maybe next time you can frame the image in camera to ensure your subject fits in a 4x5 ratio (leave a bunch of headroom at top and bottom)

  • Multi-folio iPhone Screen Shots for itunesconnect..

    Hello everyone,
    I am getting ready to replace my SE app with a Multi-Folio app, for the iPhone do I need to add screen shots for each device, 4.7", 5.5", 4" and 3.5"? Thanks.

    Yes, in iTunes Connect you need to upload the required screen shots. In App Builder, you need to specify additional app icons and splash images. See this page for App Builder requirements: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Checklists for custom viewer apps

  • IOS7 app screen shots for itunes

    I see a new style of screen shots showing in itunes for iOS7, that shows the phone case and sometimes hand holding the device.  Are there any templates available for this?

    Thanks for the advice Ian. I did what you said and it seemed to work. I think. I tried repairing the permissions once and and found that I was getting the screen-shots for some Apps but not others, but that might have been the case all along and I just hadn't tried it.
    So I restarted my computer and then tried repairing the permissions again. This time the ones that didn't work before now seemed to work, But I did search for them a different way this time, so maybe that's why.
    I don't know. Either way, thanks for the help.
