=== | ===Why not use Print Screen?=== | ||
When using hardware acceleration, the <tt>Print Screen</tt> key will be unable to capture the overlayed image. This is due to the image being stored in a different area of memory to the main display, and will manifest itself as an area of colour (typically nearly black) where the image appears. | |||
==Workarounds== | |||
===Disabling hardware acceleration=== | ===Disabling hardware acceleration=== | ||
As a workaround, you can disable hardware acceleration. This is done from <tt>Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting</tt>. | |||
===Lazy disabling=== | ===Lazy disabling=== | ||
Only one program can use video overlays at once. Thus, you can load two copies of your media player (or two different programs that both try to use overlays), and one of them will display without hardware acceleration. | |||

==How to upload the picture== | ==How to upload the picture== | ||
If you've been asked to upload a screenshot by a mod, use a [[Recommended Links#Image Hosting|free image hosting site]] - not only is this easier than using your own hosting/transfer method, but also means that the picture will probably stick around for long enough to be there if it needs to be referred back to again. If it's a screenshot to illustrate an anime entry, see the [[Content:Anime#Image|guidelines]] for anime images. | |||
