Createspace.com, are screenshot images allowed?

2 replies
I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, but when you create a book with Createspace, are screenshot images allowed in books? If so, does it affect the image quality...how do the pictures turn out??

    There is no problem with screen shots. They must be submitted at a resolution of 300 PX or better. Because you have to submit your book as a "print size" you need to check that your images are readable in your book size.

    If they are not then you need to select a larger book size so that the pages are larger. Full colour also helps with screenshots.

    I think alot of it comes down to how clear YOU want the image to be.

    When you order the proof copy of the book you'll see how it looks and then if you want to make changes you can.

    In almost every hard copy book I publish I include my mind maps on the topic, which I just export as .jpg's from mindjet and then insert into a word document before creating the pdf.

    Generally unless you're dramatically resizing the screenshots or unless they're just extremely dark I would say you're always going to be ok.
