How to take a picture

[pmcmull]

Just that. How to do a screen capture while in SH3? I have the graphics looking nice now with the Onealex mod and GWX3. Plus tweaking the Nvidia settings.

Hi Pat
To take a screenshot in SH3 Cntrl + F11 (Places screen shots inside main SH3 Game folder)
Also Windows key + printscreen (Places screenshots in your pictures folder in your documents)

Thanks! It looks like the ctrl-F11 saves a .bmp picture, so for portability I would want to convert to jpg. I'll have to experiment with that. Didn't try the Window key+printscreen option yet.

Use Paint dot net (https://www.getpaint.net) or similar (GIMP (https://www.gimp.org)), and convert to jpg format. You can usually set the compression to below 90 and still not introduce too much artifact. The Windows keys save to a bmp format also.

I have tried the Windows key+printscreen combo. It works well and gives the quick blip to the screen so you know it did it. And the Pictures folder is a good place. Yes I have a program or two that will convert bmp to jpg or other formats. I tried a couple of screenshots to convert to about the 80 level in jpg and they came out n the 600 to 800K size. Good enough for me.



Thanks,
