The best way to make images from sreenshots

Hi,

I am creating an online Hebrew reading course. As most computers would not be able to read Hebrew letters without having to install a language pack (not desirable or feasible) I need to screenshot all the letters and words that I will be using, which are quite a few. I experimented with taking a screenshot of the Hebrew text generator and then pasting the screenshot it into Paint, then grabbing the letter or letters and pasting it into a new Paint session and then saving that as a .jpg. The problem is that the final image does not look sharp and in fact it looks pretty shabby.

I am not sure what the best way is to make these images is, can anyone suggest a good solution?

Thanks,

Jonny

    The way you're going about it is not ideal at all.

    On your specific question - have you pasted the screenshot in your native resolution? You need to make sure that the file you paste into in paint is as large as your screen.

    I used Zapgrab and then via paint saved the image as a .png - all good

    You can use Snagit software. Snagit is especially used for snapshots.

    Basically, its a image taken by the host operating system or software running on the computer device, but it can also be a capture made by a mobile phone even it can be digital camera. Such a easy and work cutting load tools which help out a lot.
