Image Resolution Effect
Use the Image Resolution Effect to set an image resolution in dots per inch or allow SnagIt to configure the DPI
automatically using the default setting. For most captures, the default setting of 96 DPI is sufficient.
The Image Resolution can control how other applications display and print SnagIt captured images. Adjusting
the image resolution does not affect the way SnagIt displays or prints the image.
Setup Instructions
1. In SnagIt, select Image capture mode.
2. Select the Input and Output.
3. Select Effects down arrow > Image Resolution.
4. By default, the Auto configure option is enabled. To enter a custom DPI setting, remove the check mark and
enter the desired DPI in the Resolution field. Click OK.
5. Click the Capture button or press the capture hotkey. The capture is sent to the selected Output.
For additional effects, see Add an Effect during Image Capture.
