Im having a difficult time attempting to take a screen shot, resizing it smaller without totalling distorting the image. How do I go about doing this? Any suggestion/advice?
It's not quite clear what you mean by "distorting the image" but for one make sure that the widht X height proportions stay the same.
Ok, I've attached a screen shot of this thread...How do I take that photo and basically make it thumbnail size without afftecting the quality of the image itself (distorting it)?
I resized it to 120 x 57 px. This was a 30 sec job and the image could still be improved with some more work. Of course as a thumbnail you won't be able to read the text anymore
Why dont you take the screen shot and then use a Image Resizer software to make it smaller ? A good one thats free is VSO image resizer. I love that program. It also install a menu link when you click a photo with your right mouse button.
Use Microsoft Office Picture Manager for resizing jobs quickly. Else use one of those many online image resizers!
If you are resizing with photoshop apply filter(sharpen) to that because most of times it become blur when u resize
