Hi, I have a little question,

Why when I'm in flight simulator I see very good graphics and when I take a screenshot it all goes like big pixeld, specially in the dawn/dusk/night.

I use Irfanview for taking screenshots, is there any program that captures screenshots without this problem?

Or if my computer is the problem so why in the sim I see very good graphics without this "pixeled" problem?

Thanks in advance

Print screen seems to work pretty well for most people, although there are programmes such as FSScreen, and FRAPS. Although im pretty sure they all do similar things!

Do make sure you choose a high enough quality setting when saving a shot. You can change the amount of compression from 0 to 100%. when compressed 100% shots look very blocky and pixelated... check my irfan tutorial!

I use Photoshop for resizing for 99kb/100kb, but what I mean is when I take the screenshot, the original resolution image already looks pixelated :S  :-[

Try another Program ...

I use Fsscreen

There is a version here on Simv called Yafsscreen or something but I'm not poining you towards that one due to bad experiences with the program

Thanks for that  ;) I'll try it

I use MGRAB, seems to work pretty well. Just another option  :)

Had that, too.... changed after getting a new graphics card.... I could see the shots on other PCs quite fine, but with color gradients, it

That sounds strange...I use Photoshop as well and here is what my results looks like...



My original images are the same, but they are just very large in size...around 1-2MB...

Don't feel bad because I deal with the same thing and I use Irfanview as well.  I think the shot looks great until I paste it into Irfanview and then it dosn't look nearly as good, lol. Really annoying!

What program do you use for TAKING the screenshots? I'm not complaining about Photoshop... just that the originial image just sucks... photoshop just resizes...

OOOOOO I noticed!!! all my life I was taking screenshots and the output was JPG, now when I save them in BMP and then resize and convert to JPG... They look MUCH better  ;D
