    I thought fraps saved as jpeg. What does it save as, then?
    no, the free version of fraps saves in .bmp, which need to be converted to .jpg. Only the not free version saves in jpeg.

    however RTW has a screenshot button whihc saves screeenshots in the .tga format.

    In order to open this file format and to convert it to jpeg i suggest using irfan view. It is free, small and can open any picture format that exists.

    EDIT: Disregard what I said. I'll uninstall it and just convert the .jpg to other things with Paint, or Picasa. Probably Picasa.

    My computer config: 1Gh RAM (had 512 'till 1.0 came out), old video card Gforce MX 440, 1.6 Pentium 4 processor. Now, how I take my screenshots: I chose the units in custom battle depending on what I want to do, I deploy them and then I wait for the clash. After that, when I see something that looks interesting I pause and search for different angles. I take the pics, I swich in ACDSee the format from .TGA to .JPG and I try to retouch them. I forgot to say that before the troops engage I get my video options to highest plus shadows and dust which makes my PC to run very slow (a sacrifice in the name of art).

    As for the contest I might participate. It's not about losing or wining (not entirely) is just that I consider it to be a little subjective and not entirely fair. For example, this month some pictures which I considered to be quite good didn't make it to the final, no ideea on what grounds. Is just an opinion.

    And thanx again for your kind words.

    It's not actually a fight to the death, and isn't a serious competition at all. You should participate, unless you're afraid to lose. I've participated maybe four or five(?) times and have never won, and you won't see it affecting me (much).
