Ever had one of those days when your ladder screenshot was replaced with this?
Yeah it's a bit annoying but moti has a point. Luckily, making non-ugly JJ2 screenshots is easier than you think!
Method #1 (works in fullscreen and windowed):
1. Press F12 in game. JJ2 will create a picture with the filename Jazz0001. The extension will be either .PCX (in 8-bit) or .TGA (16-bit).
2. Download an image browser which can open .PCX and .TGA files. I recommend IrfanView but your mileage may vary.
3. Open your screenshot and save it as a .PNG file.
Method #2 (requires windowed mode):
1. Press Alt+Print Screen. This will create a screenshot of only the active window, which is the JJ2 window in this case.
2. Paste your screenshot into Paint or wherever you want.
3. Cut out the unnecessary parts if you want, and save it as a .PNG file.
Method #3
1. Use JJ2+ 5.0 or higher.
2. Press F12 in game. JJ2+ will create a PNG picture with the filename "Jazz2-filename-ID.png" where 'filename' is current level file name and 'ID' is a number from 000 to 999.
3. Upload your PNG directly to jjnet or imgur or your image host of choice.

Maybe add an option to use imgur's API to instantly upload and provide the user with a link?
That would be cool, but some people will probably use it as an excuse for lag.
OOPS WRONG BUTTON, LAG!!!!
