When my copy of powerdirector 14 does a snapshot it saves the files as a JPG with lossy compression which results in dithered snapshots.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG

They are the right resolution, but they look terrible!

Is there any way to adjust the lossy compression to a Q Value of 100 so that I can get a decent looking snapshot?
Or save as some other image format that doesn't compress?

Under Prefernces:

File: -> 2D: -> Snapshot: Choose PNG.
