I assume the files are being printed? The blurriness might be a result
of enlarging the files to a point where the resolution is just starting
to pixelate. PNG files have given me some funny results like that at
times. I haven't really understood the reason for it.
 
Perhaps your correspondent could try using jpg files as a comparison and
the other thing to check is the resolution you can save things at. From
memory with SnagIt you can actually specify a resolution now. if the
resolution they are saving at is less than 200 dpi then there will be
blurry results with png files.

Hi austechies,
 
A correspondent from Canada has asked me the following:
 

        "I'm using SnagIt (latest version) for my Windows screen caps,
and they're turning out blurry. My monitor is set to 1637x980 pixels
(widescreen LCD), with ClearType enabled. Despite this, the resulting
PNG files are not even remotely as sharp as what I can see on the screen
.... Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?"

 
Can anyone suggest a solution?
 
Cheers
