Personally, I've never heard of this "Flare" (or, for that matter, of
Madcap Software). My go-to software for manipulating image files
(including taking screenshots) is the open source GIMP, and my
typesetting software of first choice is good old fashioned Xerox Ventura
Publisher (DOS/GEM Edition). ("Luddites of the World Unite! You have
nothing to lose but your upgrade-treadmills!)
While it is not nearly as important as it once was (and I still remember
a time when the best way to get decent screen shots for publication was
to photograph a screen, on film, in a darkened room, and have whoever
does your printing halftone the photographs and drop them in!), it is
still preferable, when scaling images, to *stick to
small-whole-number-ratios*
When I prep an image -- *any* image -- for use in Xerox Ventura
Publisher, I *always* scale them to the desired size in GIMP, and then
export them as EPS files, without "preview" bitmaps.
