Pictures

I know I have read this before but I can't find it.

How do you take in-game pictures (like for the AARs)?

Suggestion for Matrix/WCS team, maybe give a full breakdown of how to put images in a post as a stand alone thread in the 1st secton of the MBs so the instructions stay put for folk to check out when needed.

Just a thought.

PrintScreen button, than just copy it into a program like mspaint.

Get a program like KingKong that takes a screenshot and saves it automatically into a file format of your choosing.&nbsp; Everytime I hit <ctrl> - K I get another saved picture, numbered in a way of my choosing.&nbsp; It is MUCH better than printscreen that only allows one pic at a time before you have to manually pop it into a another program to save it.&nbsp; With capture programs, you never leave COGEE.&nbsp; It does all the work in the background.
&nbsp;
I think the latest versions of KingKong are now shareware, requiring a small fee after some time period, or number of shots, or something.&nbsp; But the older versions, that work just fine, are freeware.&nbsp; I use v 1.2.0.20 that was freeware.&nbsp; It's still out there on the web, if you look for it.&nbsp; It was recommended to me by a WCS staff member that used it extensively.
&nbsp;
I don't mean to suggest that this is the perfect program; there are others that do similar things for little or no cost.&nbsp; It's just that this was the first I found that did everything I needed, including cropping of images (how do you think I put all those screenshots in the "guides?").
&nbsp;
So, take a look around to see what's out there.&nbsp; Start with "screen capture freeware" software on Google.

One of the good things about Vista is that it includes the "snipping tool". It is more like a commercial screen capture utility than the print screen system-saves time in cropping and so on.
