[code]With an index color mode you may scale in multiples without altering the integrity of the screen capture.[/code] Is this necessary and why? I normally leave the image as RGB. For example, I will select a graph in Microsoft Excel and copy it (rather than a screenshot) and then paste it in PS. Then I uncheck resample and increase DPI to 300. Also they claim that 288 DPI is safer than 300 DPI (assuming your monitor is 72DPI) because it maintains the original proportions for text. Does it make a difference? p.s. I've posted this here because it is as much about resizing in Photoshop as it is Print Graphics, but feel free to move it.
