hey all.. i got a bit of a problem with my screen shots auto resizeing and down grading in picture quality after iv saved it.

what i do is take a screen with print screen, like you do. paste it into paint.. it looks all good high ress and stuff.. but then when i save it to jpeg or bmp it resizes it's self and downgrades in picture quality. anyone know how i can change this?

btw im running xp and my gfx card is a Nvidia 7800gt. if that helps

this is a example.. it looks nothing like how i see it on my screen when taking the screen shot

hmm maybe i should explain a little better..

i run wow on everything maxed out.. so the textures and everything look very sharp and it doesn't look blurry on my screen. when i take the screen shot by using print screen and then paste it into paint, the screen shot looks how i see it in game every thing looking sharp etc. But then when i save it as jpeg or Bmp the image quality scales down a lot and looks nothing like it does in game.

was wondering if there is a setting in windows or something that makes it scale down when saving?
