Screenshots?

Hey, I was wondering what you guys use to get screenshots in the character selection screen? I can never get good shots of my toons in-game.

The Print-Screen button will store an image of the screen on the clipboard no matter where you are in the game; you can use any graphics program -- like Paint Shop Plus or even Paint -- to paste it into a new file and save it. This even works when you're in-game and the game saves its own screenshots -- the ones on the clipboard will have all the interface doodads, though. Of course, if your goal is to display a bio or other menu/window -- as was the case for the "V for the Village" character in another thread -- then it's the best way to go about it.

I seem to remember there also being a command somewhere that causes the in-game screenshots to have the interface stuff on them, but I don't remember what it was. (I do wish it showed *names* on the screenshots all the time though... >.> )
