This one is for Mac heads. In OS X there’s a built in screen shot command, ?+shift+4. The default resolution for the screen shot is 72 dpi. Is it possible to make the resolution higher, say 300 dpi? I have a print project to do where I need to take a web graphic and make it look nice. I tried using live trace from Adobe bridge, but it still comes out funny.
