Hello, WA friends.
Does anyone know how to take a better or higher screen shot image quality? I realise I am using Mac and whenever I take the screenshot, the picture resolution is low around 120kb and when I tried to enlarge the image, it gets blurred.
Seeking advice and help as I am wondering whether there are any tools who can help to take screen shot with a higher quality image so that when I enlarge the image, it does not get blurred.
Note: I downloaded screenflow but it can only capture video not image. :(
Pls advise,
Stanley

The image will always have the same dimensions as the screen or window being captured a 1440x900 screen will create a 1440x900 screenshot. PNG is usually slightly compressed and will give you the highest quality.

Understand what you are saying. If the screen captured image is saved in a folder then the resolution will be the same. The only thing that I find it strange is the image moved to wordpress and when you try to enlarge the image, it becomes blur.
In other words, if the captured image resides in my folder not in wordpress then I can easily view the image exactly the same as what I capture.
Hope this clarify,
Thanks,
Stanley

You could also try "Monosnap". I find it quite good for just about anything. It's at monosnap.com

Wayne,
Yes, I tried Monosnap and it has features that I like very much like drawing arrows, box etc. I also tried to capture image and move the image into wordpress. Once I enlarge the image to relatively the same size as what I capture, it becomes blur.
Thanks for your advice.
No worries, I believe it is due to my 3 yr old Mac book air and possibly I need to upgrade to retina display Mac book.

No big deal. For me, right now where I am, It seems pretty darn good. Was having trouble finding images for my niche but now, with Monosnap, it has opened up a lot more opportunities.

Thanks for the advice. It was exactly the same thing what I had been doing by pressing SHIFT + COMMAND + 4 for selected area. However, I realised that the byte size of the image is around 100kb. When you put this image inside wordpress for 100kb and enlarge it, the image will be blurred.
