I Can't Take Screenshots

[GinKenshin]

whenever I want to post my awesome moments in Warframe (which they are many) I press "print screen" and then I paste the screenshot on "paint" but when I paste it, it's all black, it's like I screenshoted a black screen 
anyone knows why this happens and how can I fix it? 


EDIT: thank you :)

Oh okay. No problem I guess.

 

If you use steam, press f12. That saves a screen for you.

You can use F6 to take screenshots or F12 if you're using Steam.

Having the same problem, taking screenshot in windows is working.

 

F6 don't work either. but i do hear the camera sound effect.

Moved to a more appropriate section.

if you hear the sound effect, did you look in your pictures library?

[GinKenshin]

well, I used F6, no difference, note that I'm playing on an old laptop (bought it in 2011) can this be a computer issue and not with warframe?

That sound indicates that it worked.

Go to My Computer > Pictures > Warframe.

 

But if you use Steam (F12), press CTRL + SHIFT then click "View Screenshots".

Then hit upload.

Thanks Aveox. It did capture the pics in that folder.  But, previously, i had been opening windows Paint and pasting it.  Usually I use printscreen button. Thanks.

IF you want to paste directly to paint you'd need to not be in Fullscreen mode (Windowed would work, dunno about borderless). 

 

Don't see why you'd want to when you can psc directly to a file.
