The original document had been scanned via my HP scanner/printer and then saved as a JPEG file through GIMP2. I was pleased with the results.<br /><br />I'll see about the Indexed Color / RGB terms; so far, I have not noticed that crop up ;-)D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-91390035847894282512013-09-15T16:56:43.962-04:002013-09-15T16:56:43.962-04:00I second the recommendation to try pasting your sc...I second the recommendation to try pasting your screencap right into GIMP. Another thing to check would be the image mode. If it is "Indexed Color" instead of "RGB" you can't save to jpg.batwranglerhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/batwrangler/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-31644937987655890082013-09-13T22:03:48.182-04:002013-09-13T22:03:48.182-04:00Thanks, Anderson's All-Purpose!

I like that indeed ;-) Gonna try it tomorrow.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-12857259647919200532013-09-11T11:12:18.503-04:002013-09-11T11:12:18.503-04:00I'm pretty sure I've seen a book on gimp, ...I'm pretty sure I've seen a book on gimp, but it might have been just a print version of the online help (which imo isn't particularly useful). What does the program tell you when you try to save as a .jpg? <br /><br />If you're feeling adventurous, you could try to import the screenshot directly into Gimp (with File-> New-> Create from clipboard) and then do your editing there before you export as a .jpg, that might cut out a few possible problem sources.
