Step by Step Image Display:

• Take a in game screen-shot select [Ctrl + F11]

Remember to lower your dials by selecting [Number-pad Del] this will ensure you get a good picture without any visual distractions.

Always ensure you have the sun in the right place so the members can see the better detail, too many members take screen-shots with the majority of the view in poor light, have a look at my screen-shots in my Drive Through [U-boat skins] and you will see what I mean.

• This screen-shot will now be located in Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII.

• Move this screen-shot to a separate folder of your choosing.

• You now need to change this screen-shot from a BMP image to a JPEG image.

If you are unaware how to do this there are plenty of conversion software products, my weapon of choice is Paint Shop Pro Photo XI [this is not freeware], but if you are after a freeware software product then you can have a look at some of these sites;

• • http://www.acasystems.com/en/screencapturepro/
  • http://www.gimp.org/windows/
  • http://www.irfanview.com/
  • http://www.xnview.com/
  • http://www.getpaint.net/
  • http://park18.wakwak.com/%7Epixia/

• You must now change the screen-shot to a resolution size of 640x480.

• You are now ready to upload to a hosting image site. Once again there are many to choose from. I use/prefer Photobucket, its free and a very user friendly web site, here is the link;
  • http://photobucket.com/

• Upload your image.

• Once it is up-load copy the image link and paste it to your Subsim post. To do this as you are writing your post look at the tool bar and you will notice a yellow square with looks like a mountain and a little square in the top right of the yellow square itself.

• Click on that square and paste your Photobucket image link into it. Continue with your post and select submit.

• You should now see the image in your post.

Sorry for the extreme detail. In the other SHIII forum will will also find Dowly's sticky thread on this subject. I hope this helps.
