Screen shot questions

von Kinderei · 11-30-11, 12:38 AM

1) How do ya take a screen shot ... ctrl+F11

2) Where do the screen shots end up

If the ctrl+F11 is correct I can't find the screen shots I took

VONHARRIS · 11-30-11, 12:42 AM

This is what I do

1. Press prtscn to take the shot
2. Pause the game
3. Open a new photoshop file
4. Select paste and the shot appeares
5. Save it through Photoshop in any format in any file I want.

Hope that helps

There are free screen capture programmes which allow you to keep playing whilst taking pictures:

Thanks guys ...

I have a photo bucket account I'll see if I can link the screen shots to here ...

Sailor Steve · 11-30-11, 10:57 AM

Photobucket is what I use with no problems at all. You should be fine.

And Control+F11 is all I use to take them, and they show up inside the main SH3 folder. Also, if you don't want to keep them they are safe at photobucket.

Danke SS ...

I was lookin' everywhere for those screen shots I took and thats where finally found'M

Jimbuna · 11-30-11, 07:22 PM

Only one small issue with photobucket imho...you have to be registered and keep the images in your account to be able to view them and could quite possibly eventually run out of storage space (it has happened to me in the past).

With imageshack none of the above is applicable.

Sailor Steve · 11-30-11, 07:31 PM

Conversely, I've had a CTD many times when looking at pictures others have uploaded with ImageShack. On the other hand it hasn't happened lately.

As for PhotoBucket, they expanded their storage space to "infinite" more than a year ago.

Good decision by them...doubt I can remember my original login details its been so long since I was on there
