Scren grab out of focuss.

I created a family tree from a piece of software called, "MyHeritage Family
Tree Builder. I capturered it using a sceen grab and saved it in Paint as a
JPEG. When I opened on my desktop it was perfect but when I transferd it to
Pinnacle it opens out of focus. Any idea what is wrong?

It sounds like you may have save it at a lower resolution than
your full-screen resolution.

Or you may be viewing it with less than one diaplay pixel per
screen capture pixel. Scaling a screen will often create
considerable distortion, since there are so many single-pixel
features.

Often saving as a GIF file can produce better results

The problem , as (other) Michael says is to do with screen
resolutions, and the fact that JPEG does lossey compression.
