Taking Screenshots in Portal
Jul. 16th, 2010 05:49 pm*squee* I did a little bit of research online and found out that all you have to do to take screenshots in Portal is press F5, then find the Steam/SteamApps/(Steam username)/portal/portal/screenshots folder, and there they are! EDIT: I just added a shortcut to the folder on my Desktop, so it's easier to find now.
I thought I'd have to ctrl/alt + prtsc, then paste in Paint and save in order to get screenshots, and minimizing and maximizing the game back and forth like that is sllooooww slowwww work.
This makes things so much easier, and removes pretty much my last hangup over working on the Portal novelization.
Because doing it the way I thought I would have had to would have taken FOREVER, and now I can take extra screenshots and pick out the ones that I don't need, and I won't have to pause, and I can snag quick ones of certain rapid instances, and it makes everything so much better than I thought it was going to be. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
The only problems I have left are deciding between writing it in first or third person and actually sitting down and writing it. XD
Soooo happpyyyy. ^__________^
