Is Windows Paint the right program to use?

Managed to save the screen shots of  the examples of the current project I am working on, they were fine in Paint and saved as *.jpeg, but when uploaded to PhotoBucket appeared as the size of a postage stamp?
 

Help and assistance most grateful.

 
Many thanks

Hi John

Have you got Powerpoint? If you have copy screen and paste into power point, scale the image up to the size you want then save as a jpg.

You can do the same in word too.

Hi Marty,

Thanks, do not have PowerPoint but seem to recall there is an Open Org version, would that do the same thing?

Thanks

Hi John, just google MWSnap and download the free software of that name. I use it regularly and it's a good programme. It allows you to take a "snap" of your computer screen (or part of it) at any time and saves the resulting image as a jpeg file ready for downloading into photobucket.

Make sure the original (pre snap) file is saved though, as any changes you want to make (in a developing plan for example) can't be done in the snapped screenshot.
