in order to make of screenshot during the contest,
you council a simple and effective program,
this does not disturb your contest and can make all the photos that desires. :beer:

Thanks Artemesia, this looks great. I will test it with vsk2 when I get home. It must be very nice if it's not delaying the gameplay.

If any of you knows about better (and still free) tools for screenshots, please let us know.

I haven't tried it in VSK but I use a program called GrabClipSave that can be found at http://www.boumchalak.net/Tools/GCS/gcs.html. I don't know how much it will effect the game, but I do know that you can control how much CPU time it uses so it should be possible to minimize the impact on VSK.

I've finally tried out GrabClipSave and I have to share with all of you that it's AWESOME! If you want to take screenshots during games, this program is a must!

I've set it up to take a screenshot, reduce size to 800x600, save as JPG file with 50% compression. All is happening as a low priority task happening in the background, not disturbing your game play. It's still pretty fast!

Please note that it's only using the regular Print Scrn feature. It took a while before I found out how to make screenshots only from the active window (like my VSK3 window):
Just press ' ALT + Print Scrn '

Thanks Keith!
