I don't think the screen capture software is really
going to effect the quality of the image. I assume
it just takes a 1024x768 (or whatever) 72dpi image
of the screen. I imagine the trick to getting
non-grainy screen shots is to have as little small
elements on the screen as possible. Big flat blocks
of colour will resize the best.
