I would like to have high resolution screen shots of the object editor window to use as inworld visual aids for teaching building. I am not content with the resolution I am able to get by doing a printscreen to clipboard. Is there any way to produce images that are high enough resolution that they look sharp and clear instead of blurry other than to recreate them?
If that's not possible, can we come up with textures that are perhaps a bit blurry but which are free and available for everyone to use to make teaching a bit easier without having everyone who wants to use them have to spend time doing screen captures and cropping and uploading?

First, the best way to take pics of anything UI based, is to enable "UI in snapshot" in the debug menu (press ctrl-alt-d to enable debug, but be forewarned that there are things in there that can crash your client) and then do a snapshot to disk. Also, when you upload pictures, the way to ensure that you get the best quality is to use a good quality JPG, not a BMP image.. the BMP's get recompressed to jpg anyway, but not at a very good quality. Finally, before uploading, I've been told that resizing the image so that the dimensions are a factor of two helps. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc) for example, an image that is 200x100 should be resized to 256x128.. even if it changes the shape of it, you can always stretch it back to the correct shape in SL. This makes it so that SL's texture scaling works better. So, that's what I know about image quality in SL, everone else is free to tell me I'm full of it.
