Your best bet for screen captures is to save them to uncompressed file
formats, use a graphics editor to do any required scaling and then save
to a compressed file, if that's what you require. Better still, set the
resolution of the system you're running the subject SW on to whatever
you expect the majority of your users to have before you do the capture
and try to avoid scaling altogether if you can.
Remember that there are no fonts in a screen capture. All the text is
raster image, and raster images will always lose detail and sharpness
when you scale and compress them.
