Can we improve screenshot DPI
Is there any way to snap a screenshot at better resolution than 96 DPI?
I pressed Win10 Windows+PrintScreen which created a screenshot PNG file. C:\Users\bram\Pictures\Screenshots\Screenshot (666).png I open it in IrfanView & select "Image Information" which tells me Number of unique colors = 74425 Current size = 1280 x 1024 Pixels (1.31 MPixels) (1.25) Current colors = 16,7 Million (24 BitsPerPixel) That doesn't tell me the DPI so I go to "Image Resize/Resample" DPI = 96 (auto calc. for cm/inches) I confirm the dots per inch with Microsoft Paint "File Properties" Resolution = 96 DPI Just curious: Is there a way to snap the screenshot at better DPI? |

Just curious: Is there a way to snap the screenshot at better DPI? troll alert is reading high. |

(in article ): Is there any way to snap a screenshot at better resolution than 96 DPI? To what purpose? Typically DPI is used for print resolution, and with a good printer for a good quality print you would be looking for 200-360 dpi. I pressed Win10 Windows+PrintScreen which created a screenshot PNG file. C:\Users\bram\Pictures\Screenshots\Screenshot (666).png I am not a Windows, Irfan, or MS Paint user, so you are left with the experience of a Mac user from r.p.d. I open it in IrfanView & select "Image Information" which tells me Number of unique colors = 74425 Current size = 1280 x 1024 Pixels (1.31 MPixels) (1.25) Current colors = 16,7 Million (24 BitsPerPixel) That doesn't tell me the DPI so I go to "Image Resize/Resample" DPI = 96 (auto calc. for cm/inches) I confirm the dots per inch with Microsoft Paint "File Properties" Resolution = 96 DPI Just curious: Is there a way to snap the screenshot at better DPI? ....but why do you need a better resolution than you are capable of? Screenshots are typically used to the state of a process, or window at a particular time in that process. ....or if your intentions are a little more nefarious, to pilfer images. On my Mac I use SnapNDrag Pro which gives me several jpg and png quality options. For example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/elu00b4cnkiny1o/screenshot_147.jpg BTW: There is a familiar tone to your posting style. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I could be wrong, but I have a strong suspicion, based on the tone of the OP post, that this is a different nymshifter known to some of us in r.p.d., c.m.i., and m.p.m.i.. I would need to have some sort of proof of legitimate intent to believe otherwise. -- Regards, Savageduck |
