<font size="1">Call me elitist and whiny but JPEG screenshots are wrong wrong wrong.</font> Sure, it's not hard to select a different option to save the file as, agreed. But you derailed a thread because you didn't like the format of the screenshot file... As far as looking awful, it doesn't look pixilated to me. The scale looks fine. Maybe its my eyesite, but I can't tell the difference between the JPEG image and the PNG one I created just now for reference.
Well I must give in... I just downloaded the posted JPEG to my desktop and converted it to PNG. I looked very, very closely and couldn't find any different at all. So I guess it does not really matter as much in this case. You have to print it, place it on top of a wooden table and take a picture. That picture should be scanned, saved in JPG and, only then, converted to PNG. That's because an analogic camera has much better resolution and scanners are a proven technology.
