Ques Re: Snapz Pro X

[the_butcher]

how do you convert a .pdf file taken with 'snapz pro x' to any file type that can be used as a wallpaper, screensaver, etc?

how do you enlarge a photo file without sacrificing quality? i have a lot of 200 x 200 photo files that i want sana to use as background for my computer..

i think Mac can handle any file type for wall paper. I tried using PSD once. It worked but only its very slow to load.

Open the PDF file with Preview, then Export to JPEG, BMP, etc.

You can't (enlarge a photo file without sacrificing quality), especially when you're starting with a lossy format like JPEG. In your case, you're gonna have to enlarge those 200x200 photos to something like 700+x700+. No matter what method you use (stair interpolation, etc. etc.), I don't think you're gonna like the results. :-)

Hi the_butcher. If you are simply looking for a screen cap app, I refer you to this thread: SnapNDrag 1.5.1
