Thanks for all the replies. I am trying to resize (shrink) the images to fit into a HTML based software manual. Not being a graphics guru, I’m finding it a little difficult.
I paste the image into photoshop
sharpen
resize (shrink)
sharpen
save for web as png.
is this the right order? Is changing the DPI when i paste the image into photoshop going to make a difference?
When working on screenshots you can omit the first sharpening step. otherwise the order is OK.
When working for the web the DPI is irrelevant, size in pixels is what counts (expect for some browsers that do strange things when you print the page; so having resolution information in each image that leads to correct printing isn’t really bad :-)).
If you want to shrink screenshots and do not rely on crisp letters to show the actual contents but only want to show the overall situation on the screen ("Now your screen should look like this….") a slight blur (radius 1.1-1.2 pixels) makes screenshots almost freely scaleable – even dynamic scaling on websites using percentages for width and height looks good then.

just resize it in the correct rations, you should always use, 25%, 50%
or
75% everything else is gonna end up blurry .
Not if it’s going to print it won’t (resizing in the layout app; using nearest neighbor in Photoshop will prevent blurriness when changing the image dimensions).
