You can set the size, scale, and resolution of the image you want to capture. Image width and height can be changed independently, or you can maintain the image width-to-height ratio. Also, you can scale the image relative to the original screen dimensions.
The color depth that you set affects the range and the tone of color in your image. You can capture an image in black and white or with 16.7 million possible colors. The color depth you choose may affect the file format. For example, if the file format you want cannot support a particular color depth, the file is automatically switched to a format that does support that color depth.
Your choice of a high or low resolution depends on where you want to use your captured image. Different printing and display formats require different resolution values. For example, if you want to display an image on the World Wide Web, a resolution of 96 dots per inch (dpi) is acceptable. If you want to print an image on paper, a resolution of 300 dpi is acceptable.
