Default Screen shots into PowerPoint

I'm taking screen shots of a web page to drop into
PowerPoint to construct a training slide show on how to
use the web site. When I either past or insert the
screen shot I loose sharpness in the graphic (the web
page becomes a jpeg when done with a screen shot). I've
tried photo shop and few other product to sharpen the
JPEG more but it still drops when it goes into PowerPoint.

Try using GIFs or PNGs for screen shots. Also, I use HyperSnap-DX for
screen shots rather than the clipboard. Others may pop in with other ideas.

I like snagit (http://techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp) for screen
captures, or capturing windows/portions of screens/etc. Save as a .jpeg or
..png.

PowerPoint always antialiases imported images.

Once again in English:

PowerPoint always blurs imported images.

Have a look here for one workaround:
