High quality screen capture

Question

I'm making a manual for a web-based app. I take screenshots and put them into adobe illustrator and they lose their quality extremely fast when zooming in. Is there anyway I can take high resolution or vector based screenshots that don't loose image quality when zoomed in? This seems to be only a problem with illustrator, with photoshop when I zoom in it gets slightly fuzzy but thats it.

Answer 1

There is no exact way to capture as a vector. Because of the capture program, not knowing of any geometry shapes.

Although, you can capture a raster image and convert it to a vector. There are numerous tools out there, that will allow you to do this conversion. Then you will have to do a little bit of tweaking. But in reality you cannot take a capture as a vector, or convert it and have it be "pixel-perfect".

Hope this helps!
