Would be grateful for any advice on how to take high(er) resolution screenshots than I get with the default SHIFT COMMAND 4 shortcut. Thanks for any and all help.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
I don't quite understand all the follow up questions. She's doing screenshots using Command Shift 4. They come in at 72dpi. She wants to know if she can take screenshots at a higher resolution, say 100 dpi... my goodness.
Hi If you have firefox 43.0 or greater
Go to Develop menu
Enter Responsive Design Mode
Top left corner you can take a screen shot, 1920 X 1800, you can also do a custom setting, I have used 4K or even 8K, or any size you desire.
cheers
Hi,
on El Capitan on a retina mac it depends on the screenshot format you use: if you use PNG, apple scales it down so it appears the right size. If you use TIFF you get the actual high retinal resolution (but never any higher than that)
Cheers

This is incorrect.
A screenshot is at the full resolution of the screen. Nothing is scaled down. Everything would look the “right size”.
So this is the one that I couldn't get to appear larger - though it actually looks pretty big in this reply box. Thanks to everyone for thinking about this...
Thanks for this. It helps me refine my question to the following: is there anything I can do in my settings or elsewhere to change the size of my screenshots either before or after I take them?
Thanks. I want to capture screenshots and upload them to a blog and the first images I tried to capture were really tiny and difficult to read.
The solution depends on the source of your screen shots. What's the source? Can you zoom in before taking the screen shot?
This page -> http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-in-Mac-OS-X has some good information and links to other apps that might help.
If I use the Chrome zoom feature on a web page, it doesn't enlarge it very much. Is there another zoom feature I should be using?

Yes, there is a OS X zoom. Look for it in the accessibility preference pane.

OK, so does that mean I am doomed?
That's a pretty large image.
For a blog, that's for sure! It's 2204 x 282 pixels.
Yes, something else is scaling it way down if boysx3 is sending to the blog as is.
Many thanks to all who thought about this on my behalf. Am off to figure out what is happening on the blog end. Very much appreciate the help of all you pros...
One thing I could recommend is using Command + and enlarging the item on the screen, then take your screen shot. Not perfect, but it will at least be larger to start with.
How do I take a high resolution screenshot?
