BMP Screenshot ignoring backdrop

Post by Midnight Carnival »

For the most part I think this would be desired but i've found a way to enhance 2D images in Curvy (as pointed out in Steam forums) and being able to screenshot the screen as is would be an awesome tick box option

Interesting point.

I need to write a proper UI panel for the screenshots so you can control things like:
Resolution
Anti-Aliasing
Format - JPG, PNG with alpha, TGA?


There are also extended formats for special export modes like:
Depth
Alpha
Normal
Ambient Occlusion


By default I like to hide the background when I save a screen, but it would just take adding a tick-box to support exporting the background too.

As a workaround you can save the view with alpha (tga), and merge it back together in a paint program - or just use traditional PrtScr.
