How do you take successive screenshots?

How do you all get successive screenshots? do you alt-tab out of the game and paste it somewhere? or is there a way to save the screenshots to the clipboard and paste them later? I just see a bunch of cool series of screenshots in the screenshots forum and I can't figure out how ya'll are doing it...

Feel free to make fun of me for not knowing how to do this....

Thanks,

screenshots are taken when you hit print screen...they are saved in the NWN directory automatically as .tga files. You'll need a special viewer to view or edit them though.

Unless you have a Macintosh, then you can mess with the tga's without an extra application. You can also change which button creates the screen shot in the Gameoptions > Keystrokes.

If you're looking for a free viewer, I might suggest irfanview

It's free, full featured and lets you cut, crop, and otherwise modify the image before saving it as a MUCH smaller jpeg.

Nice. Thanks all. Little did I know that I had been creating those files all along.... I see a few already there from when I randomly hit print screen and then forgot to try and paste it somewhere later. I viewed them in quicktime. I'll try and grab that program to save them as jpegs should I actually ever have anything of worth to post one day...

Thanks again all.

Didn't know that ... I'm so noob ...

Ok, now what is the "special viewer"

Wow! This is news to me, too. There are all sorts of screenshots I've got now that I thought I had lost!

Thankyou!.. Yeah.. I think I've just found a place where I might find my first EfU login screenies! Awesomeness.. ty! ty! ty! Good question.
