Eastern Sun screenshots in Windows 7

Post by J.D.Ward » Mon Sep 19, 2016 7:10 pm

I am attempting to take a screenshot of Eastern Sun and import it into Paint. My operating system is Windows 7.

This is the horrible result.

What am I doing wrong?

Try using the "Print" Key and look for ScreenshotXXX in the Eastern Sun folder or try using the "Snipping Tool" from Windows 7.

Paint is horrible. If you're getting a .PCX spitout, try using something like GIMP that can better handle it.
