Oops! I forgot to mention at then end of my last post: While I find this is a good method for resizing screen shots, I am firmly in the "Crop to section your talking about" camp. I find that I get the best results from using both methods.

I've done a similar thing, but I've found that the tradeoff is in the file

aren't always satisfactory.
If the GUI window is large, sometimes it's preferable to crop.
