Screenshot

=Screenshot Basics= A screenshot is a saved image of exactly what can be seen on the monitor screen To post a screenshot in the DDO Forums, the file must first be uploaded to an image hosting site, then the image address must be linked in the forum post between [IMG] and [/IMG] tags. =Pro tips=
 * In DDO, screenshots are taken by pressing Ctrl + P
 * The default location for saved screenshots is Start Button/Documents/Dungeons and Dragons Online
 * If DDO was installed in a custom location, Screenshots will be located here instead to do so.
 * Screenshots are saved as *.jpg files
 * Each screenshot is given a sequential number as part of the filename, e.g ScreenShot00001.jpg, ScreenShot00002.jpg etc.
 * Screenshots can be renamed as desired
 * Pressing Alt + Z will clear the screen of all visible User Interface (UI) controls (hotbars, mouse pointer, focus orb, map, etc.), giving you a clean non-gamer picture
 * Hotkeys can still be used to control UI controls even when not visible
 * The Rune Arm charging overlay will still be visible when the UI controls are hidden; Before hiding the UI, charging should be turned off and the rune arm should be fired to prevent the overlay from appearing in screenshots
 * Pressing Alt + Z a second time will make the UI controls visible again
 * To change the view of a character from the default position (i.e. camera directly behind the character), the keys on the number pad can be used
 * To view the character from one side or the other, orbit the camera without spinning the character, allowing a side or front angle view
 * Keys 4 & 6 - Orbit the camera Left/Right
 * To view the character from a higher or lower angle, tilt the camera angle up or down
 * Keys 5 & 8 - Orbit the camera Up/Down
 * To view the character from a close up or further away, adjust the zoom of the camera
 * Keys 7 & 9 - Zoom the camera Out/In
 * To view a scene from the eyes of the character, the camera can be zoomed in fully:
 * Either rolling the mousewheel forward or using the 9 key, will give the view from the eyes of the character
 * The character will not be visible in the screenshot
 * A screenshot may be edited, e.g. to crop it down, perhaps to focus on just one part of it, or to add letters/numbers/graphics etc.
 * Simple "Paint" programs (on both Mac and Windows Operating Systems) are suitable for most basic editing tasks
 * Open the original screenshot in the desired editing program
 * Edit the screenshot as required
 * Save the screenshot (use Save As and input a different file name in order to preserve the original file)
 * The edited screenshot can then be uploaded as described above
