How do you keep a screen capture from getting fuzzy after sizing it down?
I'm creating an online tutorial, and because of space considerations I need
to reduce the size of my screen captures. I'm pasting the screen into
Microsoft Image Composer and reducing the size by anywhere from 50-200
pixels, but in doing so I lose the crispness of the text. I've tried
sharpening the capture after re-sizing it, but that just makes the text
darker. It doesn't alleviate the fuzziness. Would Paint Shop Pro be a
better tool for doing this?
