    Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch Resolutions

    Hi Guys,

    My device information:

    Snip and Sketch capture resolution [​IMG]


    Do you Guys know how to go about increasing the resolution of images taken using the Snipping Tool and / or the Snip & Sketch tool? The default resolution setting for both app is way too low (at 96DPI only) The image below shows the Properties window for an image taken with the Snipping Tool as well as the Snip & Sketch tool. As you can see, it's too low, I would like to increase it.

    Any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Andrew

    Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch Resolutions

    Like mngerhold pointed it out above, you are getting it all. Look at pixels (a x b) together with resolution (dpi) you get inches of your picture.

    You can increase the resolution by making picture smaller *Wink with the same pixels

    You have quite small screen resolution (older laptop I guess).

    Edit, here is the same picture, with same pixels, one is 96 dpi, and other is 300. Only print size changes..

    Capture context menus in Snip & Sketch

    In the built in Windows Snipping Tool, if you want to capture context menus that disappear when you move the mouse off of them, you can start a new snip, then press ESC, then expand your context menu, then press Ctrl-PrtScn to trigger a snip of your screen.

    In Windows 10 when I open the Snipping Tool I am being reminded that I should use Snip & Sketch instead. But how do you capture the context menus in Snip & Sketch? (ESC then Ctrl-PrtScn does not work.)
