How to take screenshot?

Why the **** do my print screens end up like this?

 

I have the same problem so I'll appreciate an answer too.

 

Um...
I used to use Oblivion, and screenshots were saved as .jpg. Try getting a PCX converter?

 

idk, they work fine for me.

are you opening it with a image program like photoshop/paint.net, or are you opening it from the screenshot file stored on your starcraft program file?

 

I was copy-pasting into paint, i didn't realize they were saved in the starcraft folder as a PCX, i'll look into that...

 

The .pcx file should display correctly, but copy-paste never works with SC. I use Fraps whenever I need screenshots.

 

Er, what program do i open .pcx's with?

 

With your favourite image viewer? I use ACDSee.

 

O.O ooh, gimp works, sorry i tried paint and windows picture viewer first and didn't try gimp.

And now that i've downloaded it, fraps looks good

 

PrSc Doesn't work on SC, you'll need fraps, it's the best thing for the job.

 

all i had to do was open the image and it opened it into its own image editing program, then selected the image, and did a copy-paste into paint.net, and worked perfectly

that's how I did this image, all 3 races were screenshots from my own games, and edied together using paint.net.

 

maybe you should get rid of the mineral and gas thing for that

and how do you get stuff from paint on here?

 

i'm a noob whit computer. I don't understand you whit all the pcx Prsc and whatever.
let start by the start. How did we take screenshot in the game?

 

When you press the print screen button (for me, it's between insert and pause in the upper right), the screenshot will be created in the <drive>:\Program Files\Starcraft\ folder as a .pcx file.
