Tips & explanations on increasing the image quality of your SC in-game screenshots

Tips & explanations on increasing the image quality of your in-game screenshots; which is everything from the resolution of the capture, to the file format and compression, and even where you upload it to.

I do all my in-game photography at the highest resolution possible, capture in lossless PNG format, and upload to Flickr where my original screenshot file is preserved and not converted.

IMAGE COMPRESSION

Uncompressed Lossless: compression without quality loss Lossy: heavy compression sacrificing quality for smaller file size

IMAGE FORMATS

PNG: Lossless compression, great image quality JPG: Lossy compression, good quality and good compression GIF: Lossy, 8-bit compression which is bad for rich and detailed screenshots BMP and TIF: Lossless or uncompressed

IMAGE RESOLUTION

Quite simply, take in-game screenshots in the highest resolution your PC and monitor can manage. Try using Nvidia's DSR (Digital Super Resolution) or AMD's VSR (Virtual Super Resolution) to increase a game's resolution beyond the limits of your monitor. Or, run the game in windowed mode and specify a resolution greater than your monitor for super high resolution screenshots.

UPLOAD & SHARING

Find a image sharing host that fits your needs. Many will convert or compress uploads to save space which could reduce the quality of your in-game screenshots.
