How do I get Screenshots of my car after racing?

Is it possible to get pictures/screenshots of my car from the replay after racing??

 

[Coxis]

Yep, just play the replay and press print screen.

 

[t_ray_z28]

Did that... it froze the frame for a second, then went back to playing the replay... So, now what?

Get Fraps I think it will make a jpeg for you then just save it to your Pictures folder. Do you have Photoshop or similar? You can do many things if you are good with it like I am. <shameless plug>

So the free version puts a watermark on all your videos and pictures? Or is there other restrictions?

(the print screen thing didn't work for me either)

Yeah, the free version has the watermark. It's a great tool and the only really economical (and reliable) way to capture iRacing footage 👍

I think in the paint schemes thread Jav said something like Ctrl + F12, but is there a special menu for that?

Take a look here mate. All the keyboard shortcuts for iRacing including replay camera controls 👍

I purchased fraps, think it was something like $35. Can't go wrong, my 16 year old Son uses it almost every day making videos for minecraft.

print screen works for Photoshop, hit print screen then in Photoshop Ctrl-n, Ctrl-v and you have your image. I have thousands of images from over the years. I started Photoshop probably 13 or 14 years ago. If anyone is interested you can see some of my CG work Here

I just tried that and it puts a black layer where the pic should be because it can't read the file, I guess it's fraps for me. is it a one time $37 payment?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 8, and I hit print screen, opened PSE8, ctrl + n, ctrl + v and the layer turns black.

T, simply do the print screen of the picture you want to take, then quit iRacing open Paint and paste the print screen there. Once you get your screen shot crop as you want and save on JPEG format.

Not sure how Elements works, ctrl + n, ctrl + v is for Photoshop

 

[Roush_fan_99]

I got it, the problem was that I was in full screen and it would only take a black picture
