>>>I need to capture a bunch of windows(vfp forms) for a web site. The windows/form size (width) is 600 to 650 pixels. I need to reduce the size (width) to about 500. I do it in Paintshot, capturing the screen/form into .bmp format and then reduce it about 80%, and save it in .gif format. It comes out ok but the screens/forms are not as clear as I would like them to be.

>>>I was wondering, if anybody has any suggestion of doing the capture and size reduction differently.

You do need to use JPG, but GIFs might be sufficient depending on how many colors you use. One thing, if it is 800x600, then you want to keep the scale the same so reduce it to 400x300, 1/2 of what is was and it usually isn't as fuzzy.
