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 strange, i tested this with paint and images seem to stay at the proper scale.
Are you sure it's not just photobucket?, the free photobucket account automatically resize images to 1024x768(i think), and there is a min file size which it will compress too.
 
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?
