Unto the pure, all things are pure

I appreciate all the programming and troubleshooting tips posted by the many enthusiastic contributors from all over the world. Many of them include lots (and lots) of screenshots to illustrate what they are trying so hard to help us. One problem, however, is the clarity (and size) of those screenshot images. I always love screenshot images that are in native resolution: one pixel in the bitmap corresponding to one pixel on the original screen and corresponding to one pixel on my screen. No one should have any problems capturing the screenshot - the [Alt]-[prt sc] key does it all to the active window. I think the problem is in saving it. The original MS Paint was a disaster. You have to manually set the size your image. And it can't save to the png format. I find that Paint Dot NET is the most convenient tool. Pasting from the clipboard automatically creates a new image of the dimensions of the image in the clipboard. So it's the perfect size, no chances of error.
