From Scott Kelby's "Down and Dirty Tricks for Photoshop 6":

"Screen captures are low resolution by default, but you see us using them
here in this book, and you've seen them in magazines, books, software
packaging, and a host of other places in print. So what's the trick of
getting enough resolution to go to press at 200–line screen? It's simple—make
the screen captures much smaller when you import them into your page layout
application (at least 50% smaller). That's the whole trick—shrink 'em.
NOT in Photoshop, in your page layout application (if you try to shrink
them in Photoshop, believe it or not, they'll get fuzzy. Even if you reduce
them just 5%, instant fuzz. You HAVE to do it in your page layout application).





There's a color separation secret, too. Before you convert to CMYK, set
your Black Generation to Maximum (in your custom CMYK preferences) to
force the black type to appear only on the black plate. It works wonders."

I've heard a number of times, NEVER to manipulate images in a page layout program. I’ve never done it, so I don’t how true it is or what the out come might be.

Does that work with grayscale/RGB images as well?

Corel draw has a really useful programme called corel capture, if you are doing a lot of screenshots and they have to be big it might be useful, you can control the size and dpi of the screen, copying the file to the clipboard which you can copy and paste into photoshop.

If you resample them in Photoshop then yes. If you turn 'Resample
Image' off and change the print size (or the resolution) then no.
