I'm having issues with capturing screens for an older PC game; I wondered if anyone else had run into a similar problem. I'm using Irfanview to capture the screens. For some reason the menu shots look fine: But the in-game shots look horrible:  I'm still pretty new at this, and honestly, I have no idea what to do here. The game LOOKS fine when I play it. When I capture the screens, though, it turns to that.

WitherSnow posted:BlueBerry Flashback Express records fine but it can cause lag, frameskip and other problems. I've never used either. I was attempting to capture video with VirtualDub but all I got out of it was a mostly black screen with a splash of rainbow pixels. (I'm still trying to learn VirtualDub off of the tutorials in the OP, though). Psion posted:You capture in PNG and convert to JPEG later, right? I ask because that second image looks like someone took an image with greater than 256 colors and converted it to 256 ... poorly. It comes out the same (sometimes worse) no matter which format I use. Here's my Irfanview capture options:   I don't know if picture compression is like audio compression. Is no compression good if I want just the raw output to edit later? There doesn't seem to be a PNG-8 or PNG-24 option.

Geemer posted:Some old games do this for some weird reason. StarCraft is known to do it as well, but has a key combo to capture screenshots. You could see if your game has one too.  This was the issue. I'm getting screenshots I can edit just fine now. Thanks.Specifically, hitting the "Print Screen" button automatically saves and stores screenshots in a hidden sub-folder in my Program Files. Go figure.

Yeah, just crop images from screenshots. That seems to work just fine. The difficulty is finding a screenshot that adequately shows of the character in questions without looking too crowded/distorted.

Listen to Mega64 and Admiral H. Curtiss. I've all of my SSLPs by manually taking the screenshots and manually copy/pasting portraits in threads. I have wasted so much of my time.

Yes. And it happened. I occasionally copy/pasted what I had into a Notepad file and saved it, but really I should've been asking how other people were doing it because I made way too much work for myself.
