[FM Discuss] back in the... [image sizes]

[Anne Gentle]

One tip I've tried to adhere to with screenshots is to know the Dots Per
Inch (dpi) of the monitor on which you're taking the screenshot. Then, when
you adjust the resolution of the graphic to fit well on your page, make sure
the resolution is a multiplier of the original DPI. So, if you took the
screen shot on a 72 dpi monitor, you'd multiply by 8 and save the graphic at
576 dpi, then insert it into your "page" and see if it fits nicely. Play
around with that multiplier and see what happens to the distortions. Some
monitors are 96 dpi, so that might be the multiplier for you.

Hope this helps! Let us know if it works.
