I wouldn't worry to much about getting it "perfect". As I understand it,
the screenshots should be close to the original, so that they illustrate
the same stuff, but they need not be identical in every detail. As far as
size goes, you can just scale them (if it doesn't make the blurry and all)
until they have the similar sizes. The images in the documentation goes in
an application like yelp or are translated into webpages, both of which are
cases that can handle images that are of slightly different resolution
without messing up the layout. One of the important things are just to make
sure they don't become huge, as that will blow up the size of the
installation packaged unnecessarily.

When I work with screenshots I usually just use the normal screen shoot
button on the keyboard (possibly modified with alt to capture only the
active window), copy to clipboard and import form clip board in gimp to
make the necessary adjustments.
