How do I take a screenshot?
« on: November 18, 2009, 11:50:51 pm »

   I am admittedly lacking in technical savvy and would like to be able to take a screenshot. I've looked in all the documentation that came with the game and searched the net to no avail. I've read in many posts that it is possible please help.

Um... screenshots are an operating system feature, not a game feature. On Windows, you press Alt-PrintScreen; on Mac, you press Shift-Ctrl-Command-4, then Space, then click the window.



That's a simplification, but it'll get the job done. Either way, you'll get a capture of the front window in the clipboard.

Pretty sure just Print Screen does it on Windows.

Alt-PrintScreen copies the current window, PrintScreen by itself the whole screen.

Yes; I was aware of that, but I didn't feel like giving a detailed list of screenshot commands on both platforms, so I just chose the one that I thought would be most useful for his request.
