> I find either of these methods more intuitive than adjusting DPI.

Yes, but for screenshots, the DPI setting is important.
Resizing a screenshot arbitrarily may lead to problems in the
output quality, especially in print. To avoid problems with
uneven lines or moire patterns, the DPI of the final output
device should be a multiple of the DPI you choose to import with.
Example: on a 600 dpi laser printer, good print quality comes
with import DPIs of 300, 150, 120, 100 and 75 DPI.

If you scale or resize the graphic in other ways, you loose
control of the DPI setting and your end result may suffer.

This is an inherent property of bitmap images output on
raster devices, and has nothing to do with FM.
