Find "Print Screen" or "Print Screen SysRq" button. It does the screen. Then create new image and paste it into it.

they also get saved in the wc3 folder screenshots in tga formate.

 

[HappyTauren]

yeah, but some people hate (or are lazy to do) TGA > JPG converting

 

[Jirinal]

thats why there are programs that let you convert multiply pictures in some seconds.

-Step: 3 Screenshots in WE
Now it's time to take the screenshot. Many may say, "but I dont want an overhead view, and the ingame screenshot still doesnt get a good view!" Well, here's the moment of truth- in order to get rid of the overhead view, hold ctrl and hold right-click. Then drag the mouse upwards to get a front view instead of an overhead view. Now position the view to however you want for your screenshot. Going through this process could look like this:

Of course, you could always spruce up your screenshot with terrain, doodads and the camera veiw. (Note: you can scroll around by holding r-click and moving around.)

-Step 4: Saving the screenshot
This is pretty easy, all you do is press the print screen button on your keyboard which is just to the right of the F12 button. You now have 2 options- open up something like MS Paint and paste the screenshot there, or you can open up your wc3 directory: there is a sceenshot folder there for any screenshots taken in WE or the game, I recommend the first choice. (Note: every screenshot in WE makes a TGA file in the screenshot folder, you can later delete these TGA files to regain wasted space.)

IMO, the best way is to get Ifranview. Click Print Screen, then Copy (CTRL+C) then open ifranview and just right-click and click paste (CTRL+V).

Then crop the selection and save it as a JPG in the file you desire. The screenshots folder gets way to crowded and has big file sizes with weird names, so my technique might shorten it a bit.

The advantage of the folder is that you can take multiple screenshots in game and not have to paste and save each time.
