Re: [sugar] [Cross Posted] High res screenshots of Sugar
To take a screenshot in sugar, press Alt+1. It will be saved to the journal. That's the highest resolution they will get on the XO, otherwise they can use sugar-emulator and crop it themselves. -lf On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 11:11, Sayamindu Dasgupta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, The Turkish team is trying print sugar manuals and they need high res (300 dpi ??) screenshots of sugar for that.

If it's too hard to educate their art department, just make a screenshot and adjust the dpi in PhotoShop to 300. They won't notice. Or do what OLPC's PR does, fake the screenshots in illustrator. Eben certainly has a lot of them lying around. If you *really* wanted to get fancy, run Sugar inside a VNC server of say 12000x9000 pixels at 2000 dpi. Sugar is designed to be scalable to all resolutions so in theory this should work. In practice you'll find there are some things that are not really scaled. - Bert - ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar

Yeah - that's what confused me :-S If it's too hard to educate their art department, just make a screenshot and adjust the dpi in PhotoShop to 300. They won't notice. But don't you think the print process will break in that case ? Or do what OLPC's PR does, fake the screenshots in illustrator. Eben certainly has a lot of them lying around. Problem is that the mockups/illustrator stuff are not in Turkish. If you *really* wanted to get fancy, run Sugar inside a VNC server of say 12000x9000 pixels at 2000 dpi.

It's just pixels, and this changes a single number in the picture file (if you adjust dpi without resampling).

They won't notice. But don't you think the print process will break in that case ? Be sure to find out if they really need 300dpi to print. I suspect they don't. Most printers will print whatever dpi you push them (within reason). It's likely the case that they simply request that as a minimum because, for anything that isn't under a fundamental resolution limitation like a screenshot, anything less will be of noticeably lower quality once printed. In this case, you'll be able to see the actual pixels if the screenshots are printed large enough, but so what? That's the real image. And, as mentioned before, you'll actually have their suggested resolution for anything that's printed at 4x3 inches or smaller. No, why would it? It's just pixels, and this changes a single number in the picture file (if you adjust dpi without resampling). This is a very important point. Don't use any form of resampling when you (if you must) change the dpi, or you'll wind up with a really high res image that has blurry edges where they should be crisp. (If there is no don't resample option, use nearest neighbor, which means the same thing.) If you *really* wanted to get fancy, run Sugar inside a VNC server of say 12000x9000 pixels at 2000 dpi.
