If you enlarge the browser display as much as possible, and use the free Windows Snipping Tool to cut out just the part you need, then it is both higher resolution and saves the photo editing step that may add distortion.

I download all source images and if there is no image availabe for an event (e.g. there is a transcription only on the website) I take a print/snapshot of the information and attach that to my Family Historian tree and make a note on the individual's record/fact that the information is from a transcription by Ancestry, a local Family History society, Family Search or whoever performed the transcription. If I didn't download the images and just saved a link to the relevant image/page on Ancestry (or other relevant website) I would be very concerned that if the website ever underwent a reconstruction which resulted in a link no longer being valid, or could no longer afford an Ancesty subscription, I would no longer have proof of where I obtained the data/"fact" for an individual.

Good tip that, Mike. I've found it a boon for snipping relevant articles from the newspaper images on the British Newspaper Archive.
