Scott, The important thing to recognize is that if you specify the rect in the snapshot command, you are essentially getting the data from the screenshot, but if you take a snapshot from a group, you get the data before it goes to the screen, where it exists in memory.
I had a situation where a user was getting an extremely pixelated image from a screen snapshot. Putting the desired region on a group and using the syntax BNig suggests eliminates the possibility of this happening.
