I would like to know how we can improve the quality of captured screens
that have a 3-d look based on a grey background.
One of our products is based on Paradox, and all of the screens have a
grey background, with text and details appearing in black, white, or
darker grey. In the captured and printed screens, the text on the grey
background is not legible. Changing the background to light grey or
white in a paint program is not successful because some of the lines
that define objects (buttons, lists, etc.) are lost.
Since we have to capture a large volume of screens, we can't heavily
edit each one. I'd appreciate your suggestions.
