There are dedicated 3rd party screenshot aps that give you a lot more control, and work in every game. Can find em on any fileserver, like tucows or whatnot.

Default Re: Screenshots

Yeah I was doing screenshots for a tutorial in a game that didnt let me shell out to the paint program easily. It was a real pain to take a shot, quit the game, bring up paint, make my screen and save it, then load the game again. I found a neat app that let me take multiple screenshots that were all saved in memory. Abit of a memory hog (of course) but very handy for my purpose at the time.

By the way, speaking of screenshots... I might have to resurrect the tutorial I had half done for Dom2 when Dom3 comes out.

There are apps that save it to a gif/jpeg whatever you want when you press the hotkey. I've never actually heard of one that caches it in memory.

A number of them do, because it just copies the screen / window / region to the clipboard.
