I`m gonna remake my JSW web page and don`t actually know how to make good small-sized screenshots with the help of my ZX emulator. If I make them using usual ALT+PRINT SCREEN, and then edit them using
graphics editor, they usualy became too heavy and small changing in
their size can make them ugly (because of interpolation of colours)
What emulator do you use (Windows - based) and how do you make your screenshots, or maybe you`ll advice me to use any other prog?
Need your advice.

There is C program at
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/utilities.html#screen that calls
itself SCR2GIF. It converts 6912-byte video-RAM image (.SCR file)
to .GIF file.

To create .SCR file (input to SCR2GIF), in RealSpectrum emulator save
memory block (ALT+F9: start=16384, length=6912).

SCR2GIF can even create animated GIFs for FLASH 1: use command-line
flag -f.
