PC Screenshots?

[jwaters1537]

I'm sure this is a stupid question but I'm not used to Rockstar or the Epic launcher. Where is the screenshots folder for when we take a picture in photo mode? The only way I see to extract them is to publish them to the social hub but that's annoying.

Hmmmm off the top of my head it might be in a subfolder in your Username folder. 

Something like C:\Users\UserName\then one of these subfolders.

It could be in C:\Users\UserName\MyGames\Rockstar\RedDeadRedemption2

You might be able to find it in RDR2. Take a pic. Then there might be an option to reveal in Finder(or folder - sorry using Mac at work  ). Like how Steam does it. If it does allow that, then it will show you where the folder is on your computer.

Nope, doesnt work like the other games. I found the location, but you can't view it because it's an unknown file extension and no converter I have found works.

Last night I took some screenshots with the GeForce Experience overlay app. But I didn't try looking at them. I've used it for other games, and it works fine. I'm able to view them in Windows, and upload them to social media and other forums. 

Looking into Rockstar's proprietary screen-captures, someone posted the following with GTAV. The poster says you can copy the images, and add a .jpg to it's name. And then you can view them as .jpgs. Though it sounds like R* reduces the image size for some reason.

They are saved here: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\<YourProfileName>

There are several files that start with PGTA and some number - copy those to some other folder and then add .jpg to them - you won't be able to open them with the windows preview app but IrfanView can open them. Specs are 960x536 pixel at 24 Bit - sad that it downscales the pictures before uploading already, I had hope that it captures them at a higher quality and scales it down only before uploading to RSC, pity

Didn't think about the Geforce option. Good idea. I tried the GTAV converter and it didn't work, adding the extension didn't work either. I'll just go with the Geforce idea!

If all else fails, the good ol' print screen (PS) key works just fine. I use this in a pinch if I am not wanting to fuss with other software or be fancy about anything. I just paste the screen shot into something like paint and save it. I will crop accordingly if I need to.
