Help me out. Screenshot Question.

trelaneofgtothos

How do you take a screenshot? Print screen? Ok, where do I find it on the computer? I am a fairly savvy guy but this is driving me nuts. Any advice would be appreciated, the more detail the better. Thanks.

. . . . . Open up your installation directory, under Neverwinter/Live/Screenshots is where your screenshots will be stored. Also, to help you out in taking awesome screenshots, type /screenshot in chat (don't press enter) and a slew of screenshot commands will appear in which you can see the commands you can use to take different types/quality of screenshots as well as capture the UI.

Does your keyboard have the print key? it usually captures whatever is in your screen.
After that you need to paste in an image editor (like paint) and save.

saving screenshot using paint will capture your image brightness and picture quality

saved image at the NW folder = dark or has lesser quality

. . . . . Which can lead to images being brighter than they need to be depending on how one has their own monitor and color set up. Not all monitors are the same and not all human eyes are the same. When I play on my laptop, I have to have a gamma of 1.4 yet when I play on my desktop, 1.4 is way too bright. So, by doing it that way, you're potentially making your images look out of whack for others who may view them.

. . . . I use a very nice program to adjust lighting instead. The free alternatives, like GIMP, can do this too.
