Many fans of computer games want to capture the best gaming moments in order to upload screenshots to the Internet, show them to friends or save them as a souvenir. How to take screenshots from games? We will talk about this in this article.
Instructions
Step 1
Refer to the game settings found in the main menu. Select the "control" or "keys" section. In some games, it is possible to take screenshots of the screen directly in the game itself by pressing one button. After the screenshot of the game is taken, the picture is saved in the folder with the game (for example, “C: / Program Files / Game name / Screenshots”).
If you did not find anything similar to “take a screenshot” in the game settings, just press the “PrtSc SysRq” button (on some keyboards “PrintScreen SysRq”) at the right moment of the gameplay. Typically, this key is located between the primary and secondary numeric keypads, at the top. After finishing the game, go to the standard editor "Paint" and press the "paste" button or CTRL + V on the keyboard. Thus, you will take a screenshot from the game. Then save the resulting file. This method is convenient for those who need one or two screenshots.
But how do you take a lot of screenshots from games in one go? For such purposes, various free programs are provided, such as “Snaglt”, “Ashampoo Magical Snap”, “FastStone Capture”, “ScreenGrab”, “MWSnap”, etc. After installing and launching the program, each time you press the “PrtSc SysRq” button, either the set key combination of your choice, all new and new screenshots from games will be automatically saved on the hard disk of the computer in the folder specified in the program settings for creating screenshots from games. It is also worth noting that programs for creating screenshots or photographs from the screen allow you to capture not only the whole screen, but also parts of the image or certain areas.
