How To Take Screenshots

You're facing Clamor in all her tin-can glory. Or maybe you're about to deliver a death blow to Adamastor. Wouldn't it be great to get a picture of that?
You can - and very easily.
To take a screenshot, frame the scene you want to shoot. Press the Print Screen key. You should see a slight flicker or pause on screen. Repeat as many times as you want. Each time, you've taken a screenshot.
To get to your screenshots, go to your CoH directory and open it. There will be several subdirectories under it, including one entitled 'Screenshots'. Double click on the Screenshots subdirectory. You'll see all of the screenshots you just took. If your default picture viewer does not automatically open as well, just doubleclick on any shot, and it will.
The really neat thing is that (at least with the Windows viewer) not only can you can easily e-mail screenshots to people (like Cap for the SOLUS site, hint hint!) but you can also set the screenshot as wallpaper for your computer, print it out, save it and work on it with another program, or what have you.
Go to it, shutterbugs, and enjoy!
