What is the best way to make a screenshot in 300dpi with photoshop from a game running in 800×600?
Do I set up the canvas for 300dpi before I paste or do I paste in a default 72dpi canvas and then change to 300dpi. The two methods seems to give different results

It really doesn’t matter as you aren’t dealing with dpi from the start.

Simply screen capture the image (import to photoshop with ^N and paste from clipboard) and then resample to whatever final p[hysical size at 300 dpi you hope to print.
