Tip from Nubie to Nubie
 

Hi,

Being a nubie I am at this site constantly trying to learn all I can from the other Captains. Everyone is very up on SH III and provide great info. I like their screen shots and tried it with the regular Win Print Screen. This was a pain in my rear patio so I searched the web for a cheap, like free screen saver. Free because I am not a full Captain yet and low paid. http://www.sw4you.de/ It's a neat little program. It captures immediatly and prints. The only problem (minor) is that you go to your start screen with the SH III icon in the tray. Tap on it and your back to sinking ships at the point you lost the screen. Maybe this thread will get better info on capture from the real Captains.

I just use the CTRL F11 way of taking a screenshot then if i feel like it i play around with it i use a programe called PhotoFilter which you can get free online. This works for me as i cant afford Photoshop.

Yeah control key and F11. You will find the pics in the programs folder of SH3. Simple and easy!

Can you please give a path for finding that folder.:)

THX in advance.:up:

my computer ubisoft/sh3/
The pics will be at the bottom of this folder:up:

Go to MY Computer, open your hard drive for your programs folder. Find the Ubisoft folder and inside is the SH3 folder. Open and at the bottom are the picks.

THX AVG & MR C :up:

Ah yes, life is good. I use Picture it 9 for adjusting colors and such. They make some nice desktop pics. When you get the hang of it, go get Photobucket and you can show us what you have saved. Post them on the unoffical offical screenshot thread. It is always at the top.:up:

Yep Firewall and kkentopanga i look forward to seeing your pics:up:

Hi again AVG & MR C

I hate to sound like a bonehead :doh: but, could you please tell name of file
and how to open it. :) THX again. sorry if i'm a pain.:oops:

The folder is found in your programs folder on your hard drive. Open up the folder that contains all of the programs on your hard drive. Look for Ubisoft folder. Open and inside is SH3 folder. Open and you will see all kinds of icons to play the game. at the very bottom you will see a bunch of files looking all the same. Just double click and one of your BMP/JPEG programs will open it. or you can right click and highlight "open with" then choose your program. Like Microsoft paint or like me Picture it 9. Once you got that down pat, start messing with colors and contrast. You will find you can make some nice screenies and desktop pictures of your patrols.

I use a program called Sreenhunter 4.1 pro
Puts the pics in a folder of your choice and as whatever type you want plus loads of other options

Hey Firewall the name of the file would be something Sh3pic3257 or something like that the files might look like some of the other files down the bottom of that folder. The trick is check the name. To open just double left click on the file.
Hope this help mate:up:
