Well a lot of thought goes into it if you want it to look good.

First you need a screen capture program, I use fraps. (I think Xfire can take screenshots)

Then you need an editing program (If you want it to look decent) I use photoshop CS5.

Then you upload it to whatever you want.

Try playing with the colour settings on your GFX software - particularly the saturation settings. Slightly more colour than standard looks better.

The War-FX addons:

include a sunlight mod that removes the dazzling effect of the sun - makes better sunsets and sunrises. And the other effects are great too!

I use Fraps - never found anything better.

This has been asked several times, the answer is always fraps, or xfire, or some other screenshot program, edit the pic with paint, or gimp2,

or photoshop being the popular one.

please search in the future.

Overview file? what is that supposed to be? Are you referring to the loading screen when you get ingame or waitign for the game to load?

Overview.html! It's for my mission. I thought I didn't have to explain that to any body. But, no problem.

Well, I looked though the forums and i didn't actually found one post.

Thanks anyway guys.
