Every time I take a screen shot now it is blurry. Especially when I take a section show. What do I do to fix this? I am on a PowerBook G4 15".

Is this from a external display or from your PB?

From the PB itself.

From the PB itself.

Is it that what way it is on every screen shot? If it is it looks like the refresh rate it bad. I seen these on cheaper displays that half the display is fussy.

What version of OS X are you using? Older versions saved to PDF, which was clumsy to work with because of the automagical scaling stuff.

Tiger by default saves to PNG which is a lot easier to work with if you want the original bitmap, and on older OS X you can still copy to the clipboard (include ctrl in your keystroke combo) and save out using whatever graphics program you prefer.
