Software for the Best Screen-Shots

BraveHart · Post by **BraveHart** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 2:17 am

"Ever wonder How I get such Cool Screen-Shot's??"

"I use a software program that my Long time Evochron Friend: Warsign, introduced me too!!. The name of the Software: Gadwin Print Screen 4.4"

www.gadwin.com/printscreen/

"I have used others but they do not compare to the quality that Gadwin provides....I can assign any key that I want to take screen-shots and a lot more. Check out the above site and down load it today....don't forget to choose a sight where you can upload your picture to....I use Photobucket, they are great and they have a lot room for tons of pictures"

"Your Screenshots are always Welcomed in the forum....So what are ya waiting for?? Let Us see what New and Unexplored places you have found!!"

So difficult Maars! We take screenshots like a machine gun man.

If I remember right, you had some problems with your Saitek X50... It is so weird...

Works well on various systems, also on 64 bit systems, small and very good "fire and forget" software. I suggest all of you...

We can use same software with Bravehart but very difficult to catch those moments like Bravehart imo

"Thank You Warsign!!....to get those hard to get action shots with everything Blowing up... you have to take the extra effort of Jumping right smack dab in the middle in the Action!! Talk to my wing man [SW] Eclipse he can verify my need to get the ultimate Screen Shot....Some times I make it and sometimes I don't...LOL "

"Here you Go Ravenfeeder....I found the thread that I posted awhile ago that shows where to get the software for the screen shots that I take...you can bind any key to take the pictures....I use the PrtScn key on my numpad...makes sense since you use that key anyway to put a pic on your clipboard"

Oh great... I didn't think of looking here

I'll install it and begin a career as astroreporter

"LoL....Cool it is real easy to take multiple shots then go pick out the best ones to post...so far I have taken over 6000 shots with no problem....Except for the Occasional times I get Blown up by a Hostile"

LOL

I got the software, Yoda, just could never get it to work. Must be old age, I never thought of using the Prntscrn button - duh! So bloody obvious once you mention it - double Duh!!!

"Wow...I know when I downloaded the software I opened up the Gadwin PrintScreen icon on the desktop and followed the 4 steps....let me type what I did here and let's see if you missed a step"

1. Preference: Hot Key: PrintScreen , (Optional) Checked-show splash on start up, (Optional) Checked-run @ windows startup

2. Source: Captured Area: Checked-Full screen, Checked-captured Mouse Cursor

3. Destination: Checked-Copy captured area to file, File: Checked-Automatic naming, File Name: ScreenShot, Capture Directory: C:\\Users\\Owner\\Documents\\PrintScreenFiles

4. Image: Type of Image: JPEG BitMap (*.jpg), Options: Jpeg Quality 75%, Check-Stamp Stamp Format-[BA]Ravenfeeder(Obvious I used my name for stamp format...lol), Choose-Stamp color Color, Choose-Transparency of stamp(I set mine to 75%)

I hope this helps and let me know if you get it to work

Thanks Brave. It works beautifully. Perfect tool when I'm trying to create EvoMap system with everything I discover.

"Your Welcome....I'm glad it's working for you"

I am looking forward to your Screen-Shots!

Ravenfeeder · Post by **Ravenfeeder** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:23 pm

Works a treat mate, many thanks.

As for now I'm using the screenshots creating this universe map:
http://evochron.junholt.se

I take snapshots in a whole system (Cerulean Warzone currently) to get coords to all items in there.
It helps a lot when I plot them in my mapsystem:P.

I'll try to catch a few online in combat as well.

;):P

Many thanks Bravehart, that programme is brill. I got some good screenshots, not up to your standard, but... good for me. I'll post a few, see what you think of them.

DONE????? ROFL
Will I ever be done. It's such a "small" space to explore so it's made in notime!

Thx anyway.

"Here you go Pandabear...just follow the instruction listed above to get Great Screen-Shots"...

PandaBear · Post by **PandaBear** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:03 pm

Thanks I get it starting tonight when I get back from work

Rush · Post by **Rush** » Thu Oct 21, 2010 1:45 pm

Argh...it doesn't work anymore. It makes screenshots of an empty desktop instead of the game Ã§_Ã§
Maybe it has some problems with Windows 7...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I hate Windows. Long live Ubuntu!

"Do you have a file to hold your screen-shots?? I know I put 6000 shots in one folder and then I started a new folder recently and had a similar experience with the new folder...I shut down my PC then rebooted and everything was fine...not sure about Windows 7...I still have Vista"...

Rush · Post by **Rush** » Thu Oct 21, 2010 7:05 pm

Probably I should reboot more often... windows' behavior is always very erratic, and reboot is one of the thing that I do most often

Rush · Post by **Rush** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 12:13 pm

This is what i get now...

Any suggestions?

BraveHart · Post by **BraveHart** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 12:16 pm

"Try uninstalling and download the software again"...
