As the title says. I tried PrintScreen but it doesn't work. Tips appreciated. :)

I just tried it, using the "prt sc" button, and it worked fine for me. Have you tried using "paste in new image" from the edit menu of whatever programme you're using?



It does, however, only seem to work once per time you open it. You have to shut it down and start again to take a new shot.

Print Screen. Screenshots go in Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\Screenshots\\User.

[Edit]
I give up! I can't beat the escaping backslash. :(

Ah, thanks Snoteye for the tip. Didn't know that it was saving automatically to that folder. I was trying to save it to Paint instead. Also, thanks to Rivie for the Fraps suggestion, which I used before I saw Snoteye's reply to the thread.

Fraps is quick and handy for any program, I tend to not even bother trying to see if I can hit print screen anymore and just open fraps instead, very convenient and makes for some really nice pics. ;)

Cool! I just looked around my My Documents Folder & noticed a file I didn't know about. It's got the images from my CC creations! Is there any trick to posting those pictures?

Any standard image host (ImageShack, Photobucket, Tinypic, etc.) will do. The former two allows you to create a profile and manage uploaded images (including viewing permissions and deletion). You will not be able to do this if you upload without a profile (in case you're posting sensitive images). I'm unaware if Tinypic has the same functionality, I only ever use it for images of little or no consequence.

Additionally, this site also lets you create an album (with viewing permissions) with 20MB space.

[Edit]
And the screenshots are .jpeg (yay!) so don't require conversion, though it might be a good idea to save them at a higher compression level to reduce the filesize if you have a large monitor. Mine are about 240kB. IrfanView is excellent for viewing and converting many file types.

AltGr + Print screen works for me and allows me to paste to Photoshop immediately. A helpful soul on the original game forum pointed it out to me :)

Actually i surpassed this by hitting alt+tab and then FAST hitting print scr. If i did it right, just at the switching point between the CC and my Desktop (Black Screen) i was able to normally copy it.
I guess its kinda stupid but it felt like a tiny victory every time:wizard:

Aww, buggers. I'm too lazy for that. I guess i'll just stick to posting links to my character's pages like i've been doin. Posted Image

Many thanks for the info anyway! Posted Image

When I hit print screen, the pics won't automatically show up in the proper directory. And fraps only does pics in BMP unless you register.

Is your Print Screen key a multi-function key? If so, make sure the Print Screen function is actually toggled. If that isn't it, check the write permissions of the Screenshots\\User folder.

actually you dont have to shut it down, just hit ctrl+alt+delete and it will minimize it down in favor of windows task manager,   my suggestion is you have you image editing program already open when you do this

also best way to get a screen print is pressing ctrl+printscreen  this automatically places the image on the clipboard to be pasted in programs


best programs for print screen are windows paint and paint shop pro
