I need to take a bunch of screenshots from a website and include in a presentation - but they all come out so damn blurry. How do I get hi-res ones?

Thye come out at the resolution of your monitor. Are you on a mac or windows?

well you can scale the screenshot in ps with "nearest neighbor" option selected, but it's not going to be hi-res, only pixelated.

I'm on a Mac.
Been doing it with apple+shift+4 and then open in PS. Been fiddlign with the DPI but they come out ridiculously heavy (200+ mb) and not that much sharper.
How do all the magazines do it? I see website screenshots in them all the time.

Interesting....! Thanks.
Have you tried it?

screengrab! for firefox is a nice extension, let's you take a screenshot of the entire page as a png, not just the viewport: http://www.screengrab.org/

See, the problem isn't taking screenshots per se - but more having the shots come out crisp and nice in printed form...

Have you tried doubling the res in photoshop and then printing some test proofs? There is no simple solution as far as I know, they should print resonably as a 6"x8" from a 1280px x 1024px capture.

don't you just want to make sure you're not printing them out larger than they appear on a monitor?
a pixel is a pixel

but a pixel isnt a dot :)

My photography teacher one told me that if you scale an image 110%, again 110%, again 110%, etc. the quality stays better. I had never heard of this personally...
