The absolute best place to take screenshots is the character login screen. There is a huge difference in game graphics between everything on low settings and everything on high. Even if you can’t play on those settings, try to get them as high as possible for screenshots. Max out the video settings if your computer can handle it. If you can’t afford to purchase a program, try something like Fotor Photo Crop or Picresize. I use Adobe PhotoShop to crop images sent for the visual database. I can crop images for the visual database, but the Character Submission form uploads directly to the site and it’s difficult to see details when your character is tiny compared to the background. If you don’t use a separate program, make sure you crop images for the Character Submission Form. I do use it for gifs though because Snagit has an option for videos, but not a way to do gifs. Sometimes the Gyazo website can be running slow and I don’t like having to wait for the image to come up. I don’t use it as my primary program because it pulls up a webpage for you to save the image instead of a separate window on your computer. Gyazo is a free program that will allow you to grab screenshots or create gifs.
Unfortunately, the free version is only a 15-day trial and then you have to pay $49.95. Snagit puts a tool at the top of my screen where I press a button that stops the action in game and allows me to drag my cursor and grab only the part of the screen I want.
My preferred program for screenshots is Snagit.
I have my screenshot program tied to the Print Screen button so it will work the same as if I pressed the button for the program.
Unfortunately, the way the camera works in ESO, it is difficult to stop the camera from moving to click on another program. I prefer to use programs that allow me to crop the image when I take it instead of getting the whole screen and having to go back and crop it later with another program. I don’t use the Print Screen button to take screenshots.
