switch your windows desktop resolution to 8:5 - then you will see the screens properly

:blah: Sorry but I think that you don´t undestood my question. It doesn´t matter how my Windows screen resolution is configured; I don´t want to change my hardware configuration. All that I want is that the screen capture engine take the shots with the proper aspect ratio (It means screens like you see in your video monitor), without flattering it! That´s it.

Not gonna happen, the screenshots are taken correctly your just viewing them in a screen with the wrong aspect ratio, and you must be using some crappy image program if it can't accurately resize an image with good filtering.

And have you checked those resolutions:
1920x1200
1600x1024
1280x768
? 😉

And just as a test check these ones too 😉 :
848x480
1088x612
1280x720
1600x900
1360x768
1920x1080

Yeah. Maybe my Photoshop 6.0 is a crappy program. I´ll try another one...

About flattered captures... I can send you a captured screen if you want to take a look on what I´m talking about. So all of you can compare it to your captures to see if it´s producing the same results. Maybe the game I´m taking it uses some kind of tweaked video mode.

About Robertmo´s funny list of resolutions... :pppt:

Couldn't you just use alt-prtscr when running in a window? Doesn't that do the trick? Or am I totally misunderstanding your question?

JAL

Most DOS games used this resolution : 320x200 (that is 8:6 image aspect ratio as said robertmo)
As almost all cathodic displays, VGA monitors had a 4:3 image aspect ratio. So you will have square pixels in 320x240, 640x480, 800x600, etc.
NOT for 320x200.
So either you use a 8:6 aspect ratio resolution, either you scale up the Y axis of your screenshots by 1.2 . And with Photoshop don't forget to first go RGB before scaling up with bicubic !!!

sorry, it shoul read 8:5 instead of 8:6 of course in my above post ...
