I was completely clueless about screenshots until quite recently, when some of the guys helped me out. Now I have no problems with them. See this thread for a good rundown on how to do it, easily.

Also, make sure your screencapture program is using the SPWAW palette of colors; some of them won't recognize a color or two from the game, and you'll have to manually replace those colors.

Why this talk about photos?

UO Screenshot Utility don't seem to have any settings for that. I would gladly take recommendations for alternatives.

Why? I thought it is image processing software and nothing else.

Besides UOSU seems pretty straightforward but for some reason it don't work for me with SPWAW.

Status: offline 		JPEGs are photo-quality image files; for best results editing them, you should use photo image editing software.
If you are seeing color issues, then you don't have your screencapture settigs set right for the SPWAW color palette. How to do that depends on what screencapture program you use. I use HyperSnap and it works fine, except for a couple of colors that I have to adjust manually. I don't know how the other programs handle the palette; maybe the help guide that comes with them can be of some assistance?

HyperSnap allows you to set 'hotkeys' for different screen capture events. You can catch full-screen, window, cursor-only, user-defined regions, and more.

The colors that HyperSnap has difficulty with is one of the 'black' shades, and one of the 'grey' shades. There is a "color replacement" tool that lets you set the "old" color and the "new" color, and apply those changes to every capture.

Google HyperSnap and you should be able to find the website. It's shareware, though, unless you choose to buy the license.

So it seems. What of those you use with SPWAW?

Status: offline 		Only Fullscreen. SPWAW won't work in a window, and I can always crop the control panel area out of any image if need be. I set the 'hotkey' for the Fullscreen capture to the 'Home' key; the default one is the Ctrl+Shift+F one, which is pretty clunky when trying to take captures of the action.

Anyways attempted screenshots of SPWAW again, but no new files on desktop. Outside of game program works as excepted. And I am already beyond frustration!

Under Capture tab, select capture Settings.
Select the Quick Save tab.
Check the Autosave box at the top.
Midway down the window, there is an Auto Save To field. Click the Change button.
Navigate to the directory you want the images saved to and hit Save.

Images should now be saved to that directory.

Status: offline 		I don't know what else to tell you. What 'hotkey' do you have for the Fullscreen capture setting? Make sure it's not one the SPWAW game uses as well. Other than that, I'm at a loss...if you get screens from your other programs, but not SPWAW, then it must be a setting that is in conflict when the game runs.

Game looks right, screenshot doesn't.

I imitated Flashfyre and mapped it to Home key.

I've also tried other screen capture programs. I got shot with one and it's as much messed up like with Print Screen and paste to Paint. I haven't got that far with others. I keep trying other programs, becouse I really want help for one Long Campaign scenario before I keep going with it.
