Subject: Re: Getting quality screen shots for documentation
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.
