Works OK for me. Try changing a few and check.

I am using Snagits capture to take screen shots of our software. I resize most images to 80% which is about the right size to view in a word doc. Wont .png result in a much bigger help file size when producing in other formats?

Try using PNG format instead of JPG. SnagIt is as good as it gets with resizing. It also depends on what you are resizing and how that was produced, where you have no control. There's also a point beyond which any resizing is going to lose clarity.

Other tricks are not scale so much but use Snagits Cut Out options to lose part of what you are capturing. Some screens for example can have lots of white space that can be cut out rather then resizing the image.

Is there a way to resize images without losing quality. I currently use SnagIt to capture the images and resize. I then insert the jpg into Robohelp 10 and produce printed documentation in Word.
