Screenshots
Hello! I'm trying to understand screenshots and 3d vision. I read a pretty old article that talked about using alt-f1 to take screenshots, but it didn't appear to do anything for me. Taking a steam screenshot works for a single eye, but I'm a) trying to capture both eyes and b) capture the green text that appears for game compatibility. They don't have to be the same screenshots. Ctrl-printscreen on full-screeen games doesn't capture things properly. Windows 7/64 if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!
Hello!

I'm trying to understand screenshots and 3d vision.

I read a pretty old article that talked about using alt-f1 to take screenshots, but it didn't appear to do anything for me.

Taking a steam screenshot works for a single eye, but I'm
a) trying to capture both eyes
and
b) capture the green text that appears for game compatibility.

They don't have to be the same screenshots.

Ctrl-printscreen on full-screeen games doesn't capture things properly.

Windows 7/64 if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!

The stereoscopic screenshot function in Nvidia's drivers will not capture Nvidia's overlay.
