Where does CIV5 stores its screenshots?

[STING]

No reference to it in the manual.
I have looked through my \steam\ folder and searched for *.jpg, *.gif, *.png etc., but can't find them.

Do you make screenshots with PrintScreen?

Documents\MyGames\Civ5\Screenshots

if I remember correctly

Ah of course, thanks!

Now, if only they stored them in a file format a basic image viewer can recognize.

I use XnView to turn them into .jpg format...
it´s free, recognizes .tga and it allows batch jobs,
enabling you to convert all pics within the folder (or any number of selected pics) in one go

So how do you take a screenshot in a fullscreen mode game? Just Print Screen?

[Proteus_MST]

Jep,
this lets civ take a screenshot and store it in the folder mentioned

Hey, thanks! That's good to know. I went through and translated them manually with GiMP and that was pretty tedious.

A more simple question, how do you take screenshots? I have a Macbook Pro and I use a Windows partition (therefore no Print Screen button). I tried using the Apple commands, but they're not recognized when in Windows. Is there a Civ V specific key combination that takes screenshots?

If there is one I've never heard of it. You could plug in a normal key board and use the print screen button though. Most keyboards just need a USB port.
